This is the kind of gem you hope to find on AirBNB! My boyfriend and I stayed in Ulises' apartment in central Madrid for almost a week in August. It is in an unpretentious and lovely neighborhood that is walking distance to everything you could hope to see - about 10 minutes walk from all the art museums and 5 minutes walk to tons of restaurants in a couple of different directions. It's also very close to two metro stops. The apartment itself is set back off the street so it's very tranquil. It was super clean, has all the amenities you might need, as well as a/c for the summer heat. Love this place and would definitely stay there again!! Ulises and his mum (who greeted us since Ulises was out of town) were responsive and friendly and we had a great time.
