Three ladies from USA stayed here two nights. It was the end of a two week trip and we were lugging a lot of fun shopping around. It was AMAZING to get on one bus for 5 euros at the airport (where we returned our car upon arrival in Madrid) and get off at Atocha station and literally realize that the flat was basically next door. We didn't have to lug our stuff far at all. The next day we wanted to be lazy after two weeks of walking and we asked like four taxis to take us to the Royal Palace and they all said no because it was so close. Ha! We had to walk! The flat was clean and new and the shower was the best I had in all of Spain. The communication with the host was easy and fast. We even had a crazy key loss and communicated with her at 2am and expected no response until the next day but she actually responded immediately. It turned out that a neighbor had recovered our keys but we had said we would pay for the locks to be changed and we would have never known the truth so she could have made money off of us and she didn't. She was honest and we had caused her some hassle for sure. I'd stay again.
