The host is easy and a pleasure to communicate and work with. The apartment is exactly like the listing and the location is ideal for sightseeing at many of the significant sites and neighborhoods in Madrid. Also, it is a bustling trendy neighborhood full of interesting shops, restaurants, and nightlife. I am an English speaker; yet, I had no problem using the various transportation options available. If you have never been to Madrid this location is perfect, and if you love Madrid the apartment and its furnishings will make the return extra nice.
