The location is wonderful. You are about a five minute walk to the metro station and about a 15 minute walk to the Renfe high speed train station. You can also walk to plenty of must see attractions such as the Retiro Park, Crystal Palace, el Prado Museum, just to name a few. The host was wonderful. He promptly responded to all of my emails, he allowed us to check-in early and check-out late. The co-host who greeted us even helped us carry our luggage up the stairs. He also gave us really great advice as far as transportation and recommended some awesome places to eat. The reason I did not give this place a five star rating is because they had had some problems with the plumbing in the master bathroom and were not able to get it repaired before we arrived. Therefore, the two couples sharing the place had to also share the shower of the second bathroom. We are good friends and this would not have been a major problem except that the shower was so tiny that we barely fit in it, and it was hard showering in it. Also, even though in the list of ammenities it states that the place is air conditioned, there is no air conditioner per se in the master bedroom. For us, this was not a problem because it was not the middle of summer so it was comfortable enough for me to sleep in (my husband and I took that room). But for someone who is used to sleeping in an air-conditioned room, it might be a problem. Also, the master bath (the one where the tub/shower was in repairs) did not have hot water in the sink. That being said, the place was very clean, it looks just like the pictures (except maybe it seems a little larger in the pictures), but it is certainly spacious. We did not use the rooftop terrace because we were always out and about. We also did not use the kitchen, but it was spacious enough and seemed to have everything you might need to prepare meals. It also had a washing machine which we also did not use.
