Santiago and his wife were fantastic hosts. They greeted us with tasty fresh local pastries and gave us a map tour of the neighborhood to help us find our way around. The apartment was perfect for us, a married couple, but it would serve equally well for 4 people. The beds were comfortable, shower adaquately powerful, Internet fast enough for clear, trouble free Skype calls and the neighborhood perfect. Assuming you're not a Madrid virgin or the type who's only interested in the absolute center of Madrid, the location is way better. Chueca is only a few streets away and the area in between has some of the trendiest bars, restaurants and boutique shops in Madrid. It reminded me a lot of Palermo Hollywood in Buenos Aires.
