This is the spot to be if you're in Madrid. Elise is a wonderful, WONDERFUL host! She is beyond helpful, offers quick responses and has a warm personality. This flat is just as described. It is in a neighborhood that is in walking distance of any cafe, bar, grocery store or restaurant you could want. There's a Metro station that's about two minutes away on foot, but I didn't even use it as I ended up walking to most places I needed to be. If you want to experience a local flavor of the culture, this is where you want to be. As was mentioned in an earlier review, you should definitely be prepared to climb to the fourth floor (essentially five flights of stairs), to get the apt, but once you do, you won't regret it. This is definitely ideal for someone who has business in Madrid and doesn't want to stay at a chain hotel or for individuals looking for a fun holiday getaway.
