The apartment was perfectly situated in Madrid and we were able to do without any public transportation or taxis for our entire week here. The home is very cool and hip, Oihane has a lovely home and was gracious enough to leave us some juice, milk and espresso. It was quite warm during the nights and we left our windows open to invite a breeze and although it was very comfortable there was a lot of noise outside. I slept with an earplug all 7 nights and was still awoken from time to time because of the trash trucks, cars, and people. All of that cannot be helped and we still had very pleasant stay here. Perhaps next time I would turn on the AC and keep the windows closed.
