The communication with Ulises was absolutely excellent, he always replied within less than an hour and provided me with the answers that I needed.
Though he was not present at the apartment when I arrived, his mother showed me everything. Even though she doest not speak English and I do not speak Spanish, we managed to understand each other.
The room was comfortable with all the necessary equipment. Even though there was no AC, the fan did the job sufficiently.
The room faces the street which is quietly lively, especially during the weekends. Therefore, if you happen to have problems falling asleep with people talking out in the street, this would probably not be the best choice.
Overall, I got what I paid for the Ulises’ place. It has a very central location, in a walking distance to most of the Madrid’s must sees. It is just a few meters from the closest metro station. The neighborhood is quite busy, but it is far from being packed by the tourists. The apartment is clean and you will enjoy the privacy in your room. And the last, but not the least, Ulises’ mother is absolutely charming. Where else would you meet and older lady playing the online PC games throughout much of the day? ;)
