This is THE place to stay in Madrid. Not only is the apartment super awesome Alberto is one of the nicest guys ever! He met us on the street and offered to carry my bag up the stairs. So nice! He welcomed us in the apartment and had a bottle of wine, cheese and crisps waiting for us. The place itself was perfectly clean and well maintained. He had everything prepped for our stay i.e. towels, extra sheets/pillows, brochures, and a map which he used to give us an idea of some great things todo. Two of the best parts were the ice cold A/C and the washing machine (things that turn into luxury items for those on the road for weeks on end). The location is awesome... Just a few steps in either direction to the Plaza Mayor, Calle Mayor, the metro stop or Mercado de San Miguel. We couldn't have asked for more with Alberto's place!
