Iris met us at the flat and was there to answer specific questions about the neighbourhood and the flat itself. It's closeness to both the train station and the city center make it a good choice for people who like to use public transit as well as walk to some great sites like the Prado and El Retiro. There is a nice grocery store around the block and the kitchen is well stocked in this flat. Iris was a delightful host. We are thankful for the time we spent in Madrid with this flat as home base.
