Even though we've had both check-in and check-out at unusual hours, the hosts made it work smoothly. The apartment was cozy and convenient, just the same as on the pictures. The equipment was also in perfect condition, so there is no need to worry about anything. Still, the biggest plus of this apartment is an absolutely amazing location with all Madrid's most iconic landmarks in walking distance. Also, even though the surroundings are very busy day and night it is quiet inside the apartment thanks to the soundproof windows - definitely a great feature! Summing up, Alba's place will be the best choice for the 1st visit in Madrid - you won't need to bother much with public transport for sure.
