Ale is an incredible hostess. Even before arriving in Madrid, she made me feel like a friend through her thorough communication. She really wanted everything to be easy and enjoyable for us, and it showed even more when she showed up. She and her friend helped carry our luggage up to the apartment, offered us bread and meat as an arrival snack, and were just overall so sweet and welcoming.
The location is amazing...just a couple minutes walk to Gran Via metro (although that station was closed this time of year). Easy in and out of the apartment, and lots of privacy. Highly recommended!!
