We really enjoyed our great week in Madrid. Alberto was waiting for us, when we arrived late at night. This was a very friendly welcome. The air condition was already running to cool down the heat of the day. He patiently showed to us the mechansim how to turn the sofa into a bed and gave us very valuable informatin for our stay in Madrid. He had put some olives, cheese, chips, and cold drinks on the table, so we could immediately start relaxing.

The appartment was perfectly fine. It was lovely decorated, light, and beautiful colours. Everything we needed was there and working perfectly. One cannot find a better locaton than this pedestrian street half way between Plaza Mayor and Calle Baja. All the important sights are in walking distance - from Retiro park, Thyssen and Prado museums in the east to Palace and Teleferico in the west, with Plaza Mayor, Plaza St Ana, and Rastro flee market close close to the door steps. So it was convienient to stop quickly at the appartment after sight-seeing and befor going out in the evening (or even for a midday sleep).

The appartment was a perfect basis for a great stay in Madrid. Very many thanks to Alberto for his cordial hospitality!
