We very much enjoyed our stay in Oihane's home. We have been to Madrid many times and enjoyed experiencing this neighborhood outside the main tourist areas. But it is only a 5 minute walk to the Plaza Mayor and about 15-20 minutes to the Retiro, Prado, etc. There are many good bakeries and a great traditional market close by, so picking up great food and wine to enjoy in the apartment is fun and easy. Oihane was not able to meet us, but her friend and neighbor Lucia welcomed us and made the arrival and departure very easy. Thanks for a fine week!
