We arrived late at night and left early for a flight. The location seemed good for sightseeing, but we were in Madrid fewer than 12 hours. Alessandra was super helpful with directions from the bus station by metro. She also had some cured meats and cheeses waiting for us when we arrived. Alessandra's mother lives with her and is a very friendly woman as well. The 5th floor apartment wasn't particularly big, but it was well suited to our short stay.
