Davids place was perfect. . The location was just off the main strip Gran Via with a lot of chic bars around and convenience stores for the odd thing one always needs on vacation. Easy to get to from the train station.. just a few stops by metro to the Gran Via station. I walked ask of Madrid and everything was not more than 5 to 15 minutes away on foot. David was a fabulous host. . The room was clean. . The bed super comfortable .. He left instructions for v everything. . Even kept a whole wardrobe empty and plenty of maps and guide books. .. the bathroom was well equipped. .. and he thought of all the smaller details. ..truly wonderful .. highly recommended. Thank you David!
