A great flat in an awesome neighbourhood--within walking distance of all the major sites, but still local enough that it didn't feel touristy at all--lots of great bars and restaurants.

The flat had a lot of character, very well decorated and more than enough space for two people. Roberto was very helpful, quick to respond at all times and was kind enough to leave us a bottle of Rioja!

A couple of niggles--although the listing said the flat is air conditioned, the portable air conditioner only cooled one room at a time (a problem if one is sleeping in the bedroom and one is sleeping on the couch) and didn't leave the room very cool. But there might be another air conditioning system for the summer (we stayed in May). Also as the flat is right by a few bars there was noise until the early hours of the morning--although that didn't bother us as we were out fairly late ourselves!

But all in all I would definitely recommend the flat! We had a great weekend in Madrid.
