Lola is a great host with an apartment in a great location. I couldn't have picked a better place to stay in Madrid. You get your own room with a twin bed and your own bathroom. She lived in the U.S. and speaks great English. She was happy to recommend nearby restaurants and other things to do in the city. The best part of all is the location. You're two blocks from Puerta del Sol and less than a mile from just about any site, dining spot or bar you would want to visit.
