Edu’s place is basic but perfect for a few days’ stay in Madrid. The location is ideal: walking distance to all the major sites but far enough away that it is relatively quiet at night. The small balcony overlooks a lovely street. Check-in was swift and easy. Edu’s friend Raoul was there to show me to the apartment and the communal kitchen area. He explained all the procedures for check out. Shortly after settling in, I could hear water dripping in the bathtub. The faucet was leaking, so I sent a message to Edu. He relayed the message to Raoul who came immediately to take a look. They called a plumber and had the problem fixed within thirty minutes. I was so grateful and impressed with their efficiency. The bed and pillows are very comfortable, and both a fan and a heater are provided to regulate the temperature. I was so pleased to stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, comfortable room with an excellent location.
