Maroco is a wonderful host ! He communicates quickly and was considerate of the fact that our cell phone service does not work in Europe. The apartment is SO EASY to reach from anywhere in Madrid! He wisely advised us to leave our car while in the city, and so we found a great deal online for three days reserved parking at Long-Term parking at Terminal 4 at the airport- 25 Euros for three days (compared to 35 or more Euros per day in the city!). So if you have a rental car, it is worth it to take the Renfe train in for 2.70 Euro, with one easy train change, to the Sol stop, and then the apartment is a very easy and fun walk from the stop. (tourist information people at the airport said Renfe was faster and cheaper than the Metro , and with only about 4-5 stops from the airport, I agree!) We were at this centrally located apartment for three nights and would gladly return because it’s so perfectly located for walking everywhere in Madrid. We wish we had tried the famous cheap tapas place “El Tigre” a few blocks away. Mama Ines was a great cafe for late-night cake and coffee and just a few blocks away! Literally everything you need is within minutes. The room is nice and the kitchen and laundry and many shared bathrooms are great! I travelled with my daughters, so young and old would love this place! Very kind and friendly hosts who spoke to us in English if your Spanish is not so great . Thank you for a wonderful New Year place to stay!
