The host communicated with us via phone and email before we arrived . As she was out of town, she had a friend meet us with the key. The check in and check out process was great.

Neighborhood: The location has a lot of bars, restaurants, and is a quick walk to 3 metros, Plaza Mayor, Plaza Callao, and Plaza Sol. The prostitute street (small) was a surprise to us but known to locals. It wasn't completely obvious.

Apartment: It was quiet, clean, bright, and warm inside the apartment. The beds are comfortable. Walking through the outside hallway smelled like smoke though. A book is available with step by step directions/ FAQs (awesome idea).

We'd stay here again!
