This place is well located if you are flying into Barajas. The bus takes you right by Sergio's place. It's also nicely located in Madrid proper. The Parque Retiro is five minutes walk a way. And the neighborhood has lots of nice reasonable restaurants. Immediately downstairs is a pizzaria and a half a block away are some cafes. A few blocks away is a Cortez Ingles where you can buy a sim card for your phone. The apartment itself is quite comfortable. I was anxious because when I land from the states I'm really tired and want to crash for a few hours in a comfortable quiet room. There was a serious heat wave going on and we wanted a room with air conditioning. Sergio's A/C worked great. There's a unit in the room proper which you can set at whatever temp you like The apartment is also on the seventh floor away from the street so there's no traffic noise. No trouble sleeping. The private bathroom and walk in shower also was key and was spotless. Really, a great place. Would stay here again. The hosts are quite amiable, have time to talk, and allow to you get a sense of how Madrilenos live, work, and recreate. Way better than a hotel.
