The flat was great and is very centrally located. Whilst it's just north of the busy Grand Via, the flat is surprisingly quiet most of the time as the bedroom is at the rear of the apartment and away from the street. Ricardo was great and met me at the flat even though I arrived an hour late because my flight was delayed. As it was my first time in Madrid, on arrival Ricardo provided a map and suggested some key landmarks to see during my stay. Great host, lovely flat with everything you could need. Many thanks Ricardo!
