Julia, Enrique and their son Jorge were wonderful hosts: attentive, efficient and very professional with excellent communication skills in several languages including English. My flight arrived early in the morning but regardless they were there to greet me warmly and facilitated an early check-in which I really appreciated. The apartment was very clean, well-equipped and exactly as depicted in the pictures. The bed was very comfortable and, what is just as important, the fresh pillows were perfect. The kitchen is well-resourced and has everything you need to prepare breakfast and a light meal in the evenings and all appliances are modern and in good working order. Paper products, soap, detergents and toiletries were supplied although almost outside your door you have a supermarket, fruit stores, a butcher, pharmacy and a collection of restaurants and shops, including El Corte Ingles. September was very hot in Madrid this year, but I slept comfortably each night as the temperature drops in the evenings and Enrique had fans for every room! I have been visiting Madrid for several years and I would say the location of the apartment is one of the best: two minutes from metro and buses but you can also easily walk to the centre if you wish. As a recently retired executive I have high expectations when I travel, and this apartment and its hosts met all of them. I look forward to returning!
