A very excellent location in the heart of Madrid, half a block from SEVILLA subway station. We walked to the Retiro Park and the Prado Museum and back from the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor through SOL. Miguel Angel is a charming host and anxious to share his knowledge of Madrid with visitors. He expressed his surprise that we were going to be there just one week as normally he said the unit has a one month minimum. When we signed up in March, however, it stated a one week minimum and we paid for the week although our schedule only allowed us to stay 6 days, not 7. To all future Airbnb patrons, please read carefully the description. I did not, unfortunately, and I missed that this is a shared space location. We had 2 rooms in a 5th floor apartment, there was another resident in the apartment besides Miguel Angel, and a room belonging to his son, which he scolded my grandson not to enter. Thus you do not have the sense of privacy you would have in a single renter location. One of the two bedrooms was comfortable and air conditioning was welcome as Madrid had just experienced a week of 42ºC (about 106ºF). The other bedroom was cramped with 3 single beds squeezed into a space which left no room to get out of the beds except at the foot of the bed. This could be fun for children, but was not so much fun for my wife and grandmother. The apartment is on the 5th floor but the elevator only goes to the 4th floor, so you need to carry your luggage up the last flight and again, Miguel Angel was very kind to give us a hand on the luggage. The unit was very clean, and we did not notice any schedule conflict using the shared bathroom (my grandson and I) with Miguel Angel and the college student also living there. Grandma used the refrigerator for her fruit. We did not cook inside due to the complications associated with a shared kitchen, but there are an abundance of restaurants all around the building with a Steakburger place and a French bakery place right next door to the entrance of the building, and a small grocery store just 100 meters up the street. To the other direction is a TGI Fridays, Starbucks and VIPS café, good for breakfast. All in all, a really great location and helpful host. Just be sure you understand that you will be sharing the apartment with other people and although you have a key to lock your own room, you may not feel comfortable sharing the kitchen or living room with strangers. Last point, Airbnb was a much better financial proposition as we were unaware that there was going to be a huge influx of tourists in Madrid that week and hotels were unavailable or exorbitantly high priced due to all the extra demand.
