There could not be a more gracious and effusive host than Alfonso (we didn't get to meet Francesca)! His great joy is to introduce his visitors to the rich panoply of sights and tastes Madrid offers.
The apartment was comfortable, clean and convenient. Lavapiès is a slightly funky and diverse neighborhood that is amazingly close--walking distance--to all the key Madrid sights.
We would definitely book again with Alfonso and Francesca.
