We found Ignacio's apartment fitted our needs very well for our stay in Madrid. The living room is not large but was comfortable and more than adequate for the two of us. It is quietly and tastefully decorated, the beds are comfortable and, though we had no occasion to use it, there is an air conditioning unit in the living room and in each bedroom. There are no city views from the windows, but since the apartment does not overlook a street there was no problem with noise at night. Ignacio has shown a great deal of respect for his guests by furnishing the bathroom and kitchen with high quality, good looking fittings, and I have to mention here that the shower is just terrific. The kitchen was supplied with everything we found we needed during our stay and, as with the bathroom, everything seemed to be new and of good quality - no cast offs here! Strangely though, considering how powerful the shower was and how well the water flowed in the wash basin, the water pressure in the kitchen was not great. There is a good 24 hour (almost) Carrefour supermarket at the bottom of the street and a metro station at the top. I made the mistake of buying a 10 journey metro ticket on the first day and didn't use it at all during my stay - the apartment is so central that we walked everywhere. I would heartily recommend Ignacio's Place.
