Benito is an awesome host! Many other places have a checkin/checkout time. Benito allowed me to leave my bags while another guest was still there. They both welcomed me and we had good conversation over breakfast. Benito gave me lots of tips on areas to visit. The other traveler has checkedout but he still had time in the city so Benito also allowed him to leave his bags and enjoy the city before his departure.
I didn't know about 12 grapes on New Years Eve ritual. Benito left me grapes and a bottle of champagne :-)
The apartment is in an execellent location. Just 2 minutes walk to all major plazas. Puerta Del Sol is just 5 minutes away and Gran Via ~10 minutes. Very safe place!
