The room is large and bright, with its own ensure and window to the terrace. Javier and his girlfriend are accommodating and communicative. The apartment is outside of central Madrid, a 5km bike ride with the bikes Javier lends, or a 20-30 minute train ride from Puente de Vallencas which is 1km walk away. The area is definitely not as alive or traditional as central Madrid, but a short walk away are a few nice cheap, traditional bars.
