The apartment is a studio, compact, but with everything needed for a comfortable stay. It is on the fourth floor, but there is a lift, so access is easy. It is bright and airy, with lots of natural light. The bed is on a mezzanine, accessed via a ladder, with low headroom over the bed. Hector was a great host, responsive to email and to requests during our stay. The location is near Lavapies Metro station, walking distance to attractions such as the Prado and the other famous art museums, the rest of Madrid easily accessible by Metro. The neighbourhood is vibrant and colourful, with a large migrant population and lots of street life. Bars, restaurants and a 24 hour supermarket are nearby. This has a down side, with some drug-selling in the square near Lavapies station. Highly recommended
