I stayed at Alex' place for 10 days in June 2016 while in Madrid for business.

Alex is a super nice guy and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable at all times. Waited for me longer than he should have when I arrived, left me a welcoming wine and always accommodated my needs.

The apartment is very comfortable and as described. It was clean and decently equipped. The whole concept behind La Maker House is also interesting and it's nice to be part of it.

There is however one problem: noise. It is a first floor sitting right on top of 2-3 terraced restaurants which stay open until past 11pm. From 11pm until the morning there is a continuous rush of very noisy activities: rubbish collection trucks, street washing machines, food delivery trucks the next morning. It is very very loud and nonstop all day and night.

I'm generally a heavy sleeper and used wax earplugs every night but still the noise would wake me up. And of course I was on a business trip so it didn't make my life too easy. So if you are a light sleeper and you're in Madrid on a tourist trip maybe it works for you.
