Frederic was a great and responsive host. He met me at the apartment for the keys handoff and gave great restaurant suggestions. The apartment is extremely conveniently located in the center of all things, easily walking to Malasana, chueca, plaza de sol, a bit of a longer walk to museums but very pleasant. just one block off the main big street at Gran Via but very quiet. apartment looked exactly like the pictures and was very large and very clean.

one important note - as i was one of the first guests, the only WiFi available was from a mifi device. the device was extremely slow and borderline unusable. frederico mentioned he would be adding a hardline soon which should fix this, so i would check on that if you are planning on using the WiFi regularly for work / etc.
