Can I give this b&b ten out of 5 stars? I would if I could. The location is PERFECT, short walking distance to most of the major attractions, and very close to stations of all the Metro lines. Yet, it's very quiet.

The guestroom is large, with an anteroom, so there is lots of room to organize your things and get comfortable, plus a large private bathroom with bath and shower. Due to the layout of the apartment, it is like having your own wing. The whole apartment is very clean.

Charo could not have been more helpful in providing information about Madrid, where she has lived her whole life, really caring about making sure we made the most of our stay. It was great staying with this lovely family, getting to meet the 11 year old son, who speaks good English, and being made to feel so at home.

It's impossible to imagine a better place to stay. We could not recommend it more highly.

An earlier review mentioned that the husband in the couple smokes. The only way a guest would even smell tobacco is if they spend time in the living room. Guests can enter and leave the apartment and go directly through a hallway to the guestroom, without ever entering the living room. Although we were welcomed to use the living room, which has large windows and a balcony. Whenever we were in the living room, he either went out to the balcony to smoke, or asked if we minded.
