Wow! What a great location for getting around the beautiful, fun city of Madrid! Matias was not able to greet us, but he gave us the phone number of his friend, who was waiting for us. He opened the door to an impressive little entrance lobby with an elevator, so we didn't have to drag our luggage up the steps - only up one floor anyway! The apartment has a nice, clean modern feel and the bathroom is stylish and includes a surprise luxury - a towel warmer! The bedroom is comfy and the pull out couch was ample for our two adult "kids". Only a short walk and you're on one of the exciting main streets with great shopping, awesome restaurants, and El Rey Lion (The Lion King!) show. You can easily get to a metro station that gives you quick access to the city's great sites including the Royal Palace and awesome art museums. Don't leave out a trip to Toledo which is an amazing town of ancient beauty. Matias answered any questions we had with a quick response and we thank him for an enjoyable time in Madrid!
