Laura was a great host and helped us get settled in very quickly. She welcomed us with a bottle of wine and recommendations for places to eat and drink nearby.
The apartment itself was in great condition. Everything was neat and clean for us. I have to comment on the building complex itself, definitely a little run down and the neighbors detract from the whole experience. We heard a domestic dispute and another unit listening to Metallica for 3 hours with his door open next to us. Not sure if that's typical but still.
It was about a 20 min walk to all the main attractions and I would recommend for anyone looking for a budget friendly studio in Madrid.
