Laura wasn't there but we were greeted by her mum who was so gorgeous. We felt very welcome. She washed our clothes as we hadn't had a chance in the last week or so and took care with them seperating whites etc. So nice to have a suutcase full of clean clothes after a month of travelling. Very easy to het around with metro literally acriss the road and a supermarket a few restaurants and little corner stores all around. Madrid was great
