I have visited Madrid a number of times in the past few years and have stayed in some excellent apartments - but Carlos's apartment is the best place I have stayed in so far. The location was ideal for me as it is close to where my daughter lives - it is also convenient for walking into town and for walks along the river which is close by. The apartment is comfortable, really well equipped and tastefully decorated - in particular the kitchen has every utensil and gadget you could possibly need. I loved the roof terrace which has spectacular views over Madrid and is spacious and gets lots of sun in the afternoon/early evening. Carlos was a great host and allowed me to check in early which was much appreciated. I would love to stay in Carlos's apartment again in the future.
