The apartment is located in the active Lavapiés neighborhood. It is clean, quiet, well decorated and equipped. Communication with Emilio's group was fast and easy. We were welcomed by Jesús with lots of great recommendations. I wouldn't say the neighborhood is 100% safe. But the apartment is well secured, so we didn't have any problem at all. Overall, it was a great stay. And I wouldn't hesitate to book one of Emilio's apartment again!
