Sorry for the delay...just returned home from Spain.
Thank you so much for allowing us to use your lovely little home in Madrid.
It met our needs perfectly.
The location was ideal...in an older neighborhood within easy walking distance to many of the attractions and to the metro stop.
The street and environs may appear a bit seedy at first but it is simply a working class area with few tourists, and not too much English spoken, which we enjoy.
The apt itself was quiet and lovely with two very comfortable (double bed) bedrooms and two bathrooms, although the downstairs corner shower was a bit too small for this big American girl to use.
The elevator worked almost every time I needed to use it.
We were met and greeted by Luis at our convenience, with an early check-in after a night flight, which we appreciated.
We were very happy to find an excellent wine shop just around the corner and VERY happy when we discovered the amazing Calle Cava Baja a ten minute walk away, with too many restaurants and excellent tapas bars to choose from and the Mercado de Cebada, a much more authentic market than the Mercado San Miguel, which was lovely, too, but really a showcase for tourists.
The wifi was consistent and excellent.
The kitchen was adequately stocked for our limited needs and the washing machine was appreciated at the end of our stay.
If you don't mind mingling with the locals in an authentic working class neighborhood, I recommend this apartment.
