Isabelle and her son were very welcoming from the start of my week's stay. They really made me feel at home, but were never intrusive. I had plenty of space and privacy. Nothing was too much trouble and Isabelle was highly interesting to talk to and very knowledgeable about the local and wider environs. She has a delightful sense of humour! Breakfasts were very enjoyable. The area is in the barrio of Chueca and is vibrant with lots of little shops, cafes and small busy plazas (especially at night for tapas and vino) with easy access 5 mins from the metro of Chueca. I would highly recommend Isabelle's place to stay in Madrid and would not hesitate in staying there again. Muchos gracias once again!
