Leire's place is a new, modern apartment in a new modern complex that is only a 4 minute walk to a traffic circle with great subway and bus connections. It is outside the Central district, but that makes it quieter and not touristy while having easy, quick access to all the great attractions in and around Central, the main train station, the Prado, Retiro Park, and lots of tapas bars and restaurants. There is a small separate bedroom and a separate shower/toilet room for guests. The room is bright and nicely decorated with a closet for hanging and storing your clothes and belongings, and a little table and stool. A very comfortable mattress which is placed on the floor. Leire will put on air conditioning if you need it, but mostly we let fresh air in through a large window since the apartment is above ground level. Perfect for one person, but it worked for two. There is also a wonderful outdoor swimming pool which we would have used if we hadn't been so busy! Leire's complex doesn't have a specific street number on the outside so it was a little confusing finding it for our taxi driver, but we messaged Leire in real time who guided us and let us into her building and apartment. Leire is a very nice and thoughtful host who we enjoyed meeting and talking to, and who is easy to reach. We absolutely recommend staying at Leire's place.
