Ruty was a great host. He was very welcoming to us and showed us everything we needed for the apartment. He provided us with information about Madrid and recommendations as well. The apartment was a great size, easily fitting the three of us. It was clean and comfortable, even in the extreme Madrid heat. He gave us towels and blankets. It was very hot (40 deg C/100+ deg F) but the AC was very effective in keeping the apartment at a reasonable temperature. We were able to wah our clothes with the detergent Ruty left us, very important for us as backpackers. The location was amazing, we could walk to pretty much anywhere we wanted to. I would definitely stay here again.
