Luis’ little apartment was exactly as advertised, and “efficient” in every sense of the word. It might be a little tight for a couple with a lot of stuff, but for me spending a couple of days in Madrid, it was perfect. The location is really ideal for seeing all the museums, as well as the shopping and social scene in the Salamanca neighborhood, with many restaurants and bars within a few blocks.
Luis was great at communicating ahead of time, and his recommendations for getting from the airport to its location were spot-on, as there are train and metro stations almost on the doorstep. Luis was very accommodating in having it ready for me several hours early when I came in on an early morning flight. The building has 24-hour desk help, so I could have dropped my bags there if they had needed to finish cleaning, but being able to drop my bags, freshen up and head out in search of coffee was a real bonus.
