We had a great stay in Esti's apartment which is surprisingly spacious, clean and in a very central location just round the corner from the Plaza Mayor. Esti is a wonderful host and the bottle of wine she left for us was extremely welcome after our journey and the six flights of stairs to get to the apartment (a lift is in the process of being built). The Internet was broken while we were there but Esti did everything she could to try to fix it and she really wanted to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We visited the restaurant which Esti recommended the most on the list she left, Taberna Malapsina, and the tapas was absolutely delicious. Huge portions and very good value for money. We would recommend Esti's apartment to anyone visiting Madrid and we hope to stay here again in the future.
