Armando's apartment is a true gem, beautifully furnished, ideally located in Madrid, and graciously hosted. The apartment is super clean, with a very upscale kitchen and bathrooms. I was in the apartment for a week and while I did not cook or use any of the appliances, they all seemed in working order. From the apartment its a short walk to the metro, to the Cava Baja, to the Plaza Major, and the Palacio Real. I have recommended the apartment to others on the basis of my stay. Ramón
