Ana and Luiz are fantastic hosts who enthusiastically share their love and knowledge of the Madrid area with their guests, and are available and ready to ensure that you will have a wonderful time. The apartment is in the perfect location -- a wonderful, family-friendly plaza with great restaurants a few steps away, yet a bit secluded, so not crazy touristy. However, it's an easy walk to many other plazas as well as other sites -- the Palace, Plaza Mayor, the Metro, the Mercado, etc etc. Plenty of restaurants and shopping in the area. The apartment is clean and well-equipped, the bed/pillows super comfortable, and the views out the windows astonishing. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone who wishes to explore Madrid and the surrounding countryside. It's a great base from which to explore, and a wonderful sanctuary to return to at the end of a busy day!
