We absolutely loved the location of this flat. Super close to Sol, la latina, mercado de San Miguel, and plaza Mayor! Despite this, the street is not noisy at all and we had great nights of sleep. Although we never met Helen and Martin, they were easily accessible through messages (even during their own vacation!) and provided lots of recommendations of what to do in Madrid. Their hospitality was my favorite part of the trip!

We stayed here as a family of 3 adults and I would not recommend more than that since the space is quite small. Hot water is also limited in the apartment (it took a couple hours to get hot water after it ran out), so that is another reason I wouldn't recommend more than 3 people.

Also, we visited Madrid during a cold snap and it took us awhile to warm up the apartment but Helen and Martin were very gracious about it and allowed us to leave the heaters on when we were away.
