I am not the type of person that usually takes the time to write reviews- good or bad, but after staying here and having such a great experience, I felt compelled to do so. I have nothing but praise for this listing and host. The apartment did not fall short of how it is described. It was spacious, adequately furnished, and above all-CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! Also, we arrived to find a welcome basket of wine and assorted local fruits which was not only unexpected but a nice personal touch which made us feel as if we were staying with friends. As for the neighborhood, I couldn't have picked a better location. A short walk to everything: the Metro, Plaza Mayor, Caba Baja, and my personal favorite- El Mercado de San Miguel just to name a few. Definitely located in a hip and happening area, but quiet at night too!

Cristina, the host, was not only quick to respond to my inquiry, but very helpful in answering all my questions. She not only has a great apartment, but is so knowledgeable about the area and Madrid in general. My stay was a short one so I asked her for recommendations on what I should do, and boy did she deliver. I did as she recommended and had a great time- ate well, saw some great sights and felt like a local. It was like having a virtual tour guide/travel agent. I wish I could only have her help me plan all my vacations.

In short, I would highly recommend this listing. It truly is a hidden gem in La Latina, Madrid.
