Aureo was a good host and very accommodating to us. Although he was not able to greet us personally, he had his housekeeper meet us and show us around the apartment. The apartment was as described, but personally would only recommend for 2 adults who want to live comfortably. Very unique decor. Building and apartment very safe (i.e. Locks on doorways). Location was within walking distance to many of Madrid's sites. However, if walking is not an option, Über is very good and very reasonable from the apartment. Excellent wifi, which was important for us. Very kind of Aureo to leave juice, apples and croissants for breakfast. Markets very close to apartment if looking to cook own meals. Very large 'flea market' on Sunday if that's of interest. If not, street is very crowded and noisy. Great value for those travelling on a budget. Many thanks to Aureo for a great place to stay while visiting Madrid.
