Our host made us feel very welcome, and kept in touch with us prior to our arrival, and arranged for us to drop off our bags before check-in time, so we could explore Madrid for the morning without carrying around all of our baggage. The apartment was very clean and just as described. It is on the 5th floor, but there is a very convenient elevator. An advantage of being on the top floor is that there was no one above us to disturb our sleep. The entire building and neighborhood were very quiet the whole time we were there, and we felt very safe meandering the small streets of the neighborhood late into the evening. There were many tasty restaurants within a few minutes walk, where we spent the evenings having dinner on the sidewalks. The location was very close to many of the places we wanted to see in Madrid.
