Staying at Carlos' apartment was ther perfect end to a month-long Spain trip. It is very comfortable - luxurious really - and had everything we needed. The view is spectacular and the elevator is a very nice amenity after walking several hours each day. The location is excellent and we were able to comfortably walk everywhere we wanted to go in Madrid. Carlos has listed many recommendations for restaurants, bars, and tapas and we took advantage of some of these. Our favorite was his recommendation for the river walk, which can be accessed from near his apartment. Madrid is a wonderful city and staying at Carlos' made it even better. We highly recommend this apartment.
