We very much enjoyed our stay in Madrid. Carmelo gave us great advice on how to get to the apartment- definitely take the bus as the metro require 2 changes. He met us at the apartment and had maps and guidebooks. The apartment is well appointed. For some reason I had a big allergic attack right after we arrived- and was not feeling well- found that the apartment had a tea kettle and lots of options for tea- what a nice touch! I was able to rest and have some tea and I felt so much better after that. The bed was very comfortable for us. We used the shutters and fan and the temperature was perfect! The street out front was very loud but for me was fine- I used earplugs and slept really well. Felt well rested both days.
