Fernando’s apartment is conveniently located in the lively neighborhood of Lavapies (sp?), 10 min on foot from Atocha the main train station, within walking distance to many major sites as well as a 24 hour Carrefour store (2 min). The neighborhood is very colorful, and the apartment is lovely. Fernando is a just fantastic host who is very knowledgeable about Madrid, passionate about what he does, and always ready to answer any question. My husband and I stayed for 7 nights, went on 3 daytrips, Toledo, Cuenca, Segovia, being so close to Atocha made venturing outside of the city very easy. We had a really great time there !
