We are so thankful to Alessandra - she took us on last minute when our other Airbnb host canceled the day before our trip to Madrid. This location is terrific, situated between the La Latina and Molina metro stops just 3-5 min away. We came and went to many places easily. Plaza Mayor is about a 10 minute walk. What we liked best was how close it was to La Latina - a very happening place in the evenings for tapas and bar hopping away from tourists!
We felt very comfortable at Alessandra's. Check in and check out we're very smooth and Alessandra was very communicative. Her young son and cat are very sweet too (cat stayed out of the guest room.) The room has a wonderful terrace looking out into the street. For those not accustomed to late night revelers, it may be noisy on the weekends until 2 or 3, but my guess is way less noisy than other areas.
We felt like we got a local perspective - we would come back here to stay if we return. Thanks again!
