Ian's place is all you need if you want to be close to the main attractions in Madrid. The metro is only 2 blocks away from his place- quiet neighborhood. Ian was such a great host, he offered refreshments as soon as we checked in; room was clean and bed were comfy. He stays in the same apartment in another room but we didn't hear him at all. He gave us our space and always asked questions to make sure we were OK. I would definitely stay at his place again. Thanks again!
