Adela’s place was close to the centre of Madrid and we walked to most of the tourist attractions. On arrival Adela gave us tourist guide to the city from the roof top terrace by pointing out all of the key sites, as they could all be seen from there. Adela can only speak broken English but this did not prevent us from communicating. Adela speaks French as well as her native tongue of Spanish and enough English to get by. She also owns the patisserie downstairs which we can thoroughly recommend for a cake and coffee. The apartment is small but practical and perfect for two people. We loved it and look forward to further visits in the future.
