Carmelo's place is perfection. Located near Gran Via, the location is perfect for seeing Madrid. It can be a little loud at night, but that's pretty typical of Madrid and Carmelo kindly left us ear plugs. I can't overstate how adorable the apartment is! Carmelo has a fabulous sense of style and staying in his place feels warm and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the CD player and CD collection- perfect for evenings of people watching from the balcony. Carmelo lives next door, so he is totally available if you need him. He was so kind to us upon check in, and gave us a wonderful overview of the area. We would happily stay here again. Thank you so much Carmelo!
