The apartment is more spacious than I expected from the photos. It feels very new and clean in there and the kitchen is well-equipped. There are fun colored led lights that are a nice touch. The location does not have much for cafes or restaurants without walking a few blocks or more. (If you are a morning coffee person, make plans because the host provides some food stuffs, but only instant coffee…) Its a residential area and very conveniently close to the metro. There is a nice playground just across the street that was fun for our kids. Beware the gps is confusing because it brought us to the back windows of the apartment on a fast moving four lane street. Once you figure out where the apartment is (you cant pull up in your car), parking in the neighborhood is free and easy enough to find. A taxi from downtown Madrid to the apartment cost about 20 euro.
