We were met by Albert, Consuelo's husband, who works at the curiosity shop next door. Both of them could not have been more accommodating or helpful, answering questions and making suggestions of local attractions. The apartment is ideally situated in the heart of Madrid, just a short walk to Plaza Major and 50 meters from the famous Botin restaurant, which we can highly recommend. As we were there at Easter, we were privileged to have the famous Madrid Easter parades passing below our windows in the surrounding streets. An apartment as good as this almost makes one feel sorry for those who book hotels. As the apartment is up numerous stairs, being on the fifth floor, you need to be mobile enough to facilitate this, but you do get a good workout. Albert was very considerate, as he and a friend carried our suit cases up for us. Thank you both Consuelo and Albert for making our stay most enjoyable.
