I highly recommend Vera’s place! I lived in Madrid for several years, so it was nice to visit and feel very at home - I accidentally kept referring to her as “my roommate” to friends! Vera was very sweet and thoughtful, chatting with me when we had time and making tea for me when I was having a coughing fit, for example. On top of that, the location cannot be beat! A note for travelers “of size” (I’m 5’10”/179cm and a larger person): the bed was comfortable and long enough; although the shower was more of a squeeze, it has a rain shower head and multiple jets so I still loved it. You may feel a bit cramped in the elevator, but that’s Europe! I would absolutely stay with Vera again.
