We had an excellent stay at Alberto's place. It is in an ideal location and very central. Despite being in the middle of the action, it was quiet and noise was never a problem. We were within walking distance of almost everything we did in the city. Alberto was friendly, hospitable, available and helpful; he even had wine, olives and chips waiting for us upon arrival! The apt. is everything you see in the photos - and more. The kitchen was well-stocked to cook and the place was spotless. Everything we could possible need was already there. We were very comfortable. We visited in Feb. and although it was cold and rainy, we were cosy and warm. Everything in the apt. worked well and we enjoyed watching some of the winter Olympics on TV. There was a lot of helpful info. left in the apt. about Madrid and we used it too. He had thoughtfully attended to every single detail of our visit, right down to where to dispose of the garbage. We stayed for almost a week and I honestly can't say there is a single thing that was lacking or needs to be improved upon.
