David was very welcoming, he stayed in the flat even after we arrived later than originally expected. He also had great suggestions for places for tapas around Madrid (try the Mercado at Place St. Miguel -- fantastic!) He also helped us find a clinic in the neighborhood after my husband had a minor health issue - and he offered to go there with us. The location was perfect for us, close to the Metro, no problems getting taxis at any hour, one evening we walked back late and the neighborhood seemed safe. We only had two issues: 1) David said we couldn't use the air conditioner after midnight, which wasn't mentioned in the description to his apartment. 2) We didn't realize that the bath and common area (TV, etc.) were shared with David. This wasn't a huge issue since David was very considerate -- we were just surprised.
