Clean, cozy apartment in the heart of a lively neighbourhood (but nicely sound-absorbing windows, so you will get all the sleep you need for those long Madrileño nights). Oscar and Vanessa are very friendly and considerate hosts and provide useful information (the guide book at the apartment was accurate and helpful even for someone like me, who has been to Madrid 12-15 times over the past 12 years). The kitchen offers just everything you need for a weekend break or longer stay (although we didn't need it), and the bathroom (and I can be VERY fussy about that) was impeccable.
