The apartment was actually nicer than the pictures portrayed and as you can see the pictures are exquisite. Susana the host was very thoughtful and had a nice gift basket waiting for us with some snacks. The apartment was located close to the park and easy to get taxi's and metro. The apartment had all the comforts and modern conveniences of home. Our host checked on us several times throughout or stay to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. I cannot say enough to express our happiness with our choice of staying here. I will most definitely stay here again on my next visit to madrid
