Angel is a very thoughtful host always ready to help. He contacted me early on with helpful information about how to get to his apartment from the airport. My daughter arrived a day earlier than I and Angel was very accomodating to meet her and get her checked in. Three days after arrival, I ended up getting sufficiently sick I had do go to the emergency room in a hospital and Angel was very accomodating in letting us vacate his apartment a little later than expected the next day because I ended up spending 5 hours in the emergency room. It was greatly conmforting to know he was able and willing to be flexible since my health issues were not immediately resolved in the emergency room and I wasn't fully recovered when we were scheduled to leave the next day. Angel is a truly excellent host in so many ways. I highly recommend him and his apartment. Lavapies is also a wonderful neighborhood where you can find absolutely everything you may need within 200 or 300 feet from the apartment during your stay; tons of restaurants of every ethnic and Spanish style cooking, a 24/7 Carrefour supermarket, pharmacy, hardware stores, cellphone supplies & SIM cards, banks, you name it! The apartment building has an elevator which is a godsend because Angel's apartment is on the 7th and top floor. In addition, it is very close to 2 metro stations, Lavapies and Anton Martin, thatgetting anywhere you may need to go in the city is an absolute breeze! I cannot say enough about what a wonderful host Angel is and what a comfortable apartment he has in a fun, eclectic, bohemian , diverse and utterly safe and lively neighborhood. Despite all the hustle and bustle, when you close the window, the apartment is completely quiet lending itself for restful sleep. I would return in a heartbeat! Highly recommended for a wonderful stay in Madrid. Don't hesitate! Just go!
