My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Miguel's apartment in October. Miguel couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. He met us at the apartment with groceries and a bottle of wine, and went over everything. He was very apologetic about not speaking much English. Since we speak little Spanish, his lovely friend Andrea was there to translate so we had a good conversation.

The apartment's located on a pedestrian-only part of Fuencarral and is easily accessible to everything: the Metro, good restaurants, a grocery store, and lots of clothing and shoe stores, if you're so inclined. After a day of sightseeing, we liked sitting out on the balcony drinking some wine and watching the passing parade in the small square below. Since we were there a week, it was great having the extra space and ability to make simple meals and do laundry. We heartily recommend this host and his apartment!
