We really enjoyed Elena's place. It was a great location for all our needs. There were several tapas bars and restaurants just up the street. The small one right next door was a real charm, owned by a really nice guy who made us feel right at home. The tapas bar on the corner was first rate food and drink. The place is about 5 min walk from the La Latina metro, which we used several times. Mostly we walked. The large Mercado de Cebada is equally close.

One reason we chose the space was the photos showed a large area combining kitchen, dining room, living room and lots of light coming from a quiet street. It was just as pictured and just what we wanted. The master bedroom was just off that and it made our whole time there very homey. The second bedroom was down the hall with its own bathroom which served a third guest well for a few days.
We appreciated the spices, oil, coffee, etc that was left in the kitchen. We did cook a little bit and this made it possible without buying things.
There were ample brochures and business cards provided on the counter as additional ideas for our stay, but I do believe that you could simply throw darts at a map of central Madrid and have a wonderful time.
We had a fine time in Madrid at Elena's place and we would gladly stay there again.
