Cristina's apartment was a perfect weekend bolthole for exploring Madrid. Clean and bright with a little balcony looking out onto the buzzy square (great for people watching!). The area is lively with plenty of bars retaurants, cafes and little suntrapped squares around. We walked everywhere as it is in a really accessible part of town without being in the thick of it. Cristina was very accommodating for our late arrival in Madrid. She left biscuits, wine, milk and coffee for us as well as shower gel and shampoo. (Top tip: the empanada place across the square is great for late night snacking!) Definitely recommended. Thanks Cristina!
