I loved everything about the apartment, location, and hosts. It was my first time in Madrid and my first time using Airbnb --what a great introduction! The apartment is close to the Royal Palace, Temple of Debod, Calle Grand Via. And I even walked to Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, El Rastro, and Mercado San Miguel. Really everything I wanted to see was within a 30 minute walk. There's a little grocery a few mins away and everything you need in the kitchen if you want to cook in. I felt perfectly safe coming and going even as a woman traveling alone. The only down side was an apartment across the hallway was being renovated, so a bit of noise during the day, BUT the hosts notified me as soon as they knew this was happening and were very kind and accommodating if I should need other options. (I didn't, as I was out during the day exploring anyhow!) Lovely people and a lovely place to stay.
