Laura is flexible and communicative, she gave me clear directions on how to find her place. Laura's place is 21 minutes away from the center (at the Marques de Vadillo stop) in a safe neighborhood with lots of food stores and bakeries right near a LIDL. The room itself is roomy enough and contains two soft beds and a heater (though with a bit less style than pictured). The beds are comfy and I slept quite well. The apartment isn't high in style or quirk (the bathroom has a 70s boudoir painting that's pretty interesting). Her friend welcomed me in and was super friendly, he gave me all the information needed and a bottle of water. The neighborhood isn't too central nor very high in charm, but for the price all is good. A lot of the groceries and restaurants are cheaper and I drank coffee with some chill old people in a nearby no-frills cafe. I did have a lot of trouble finding the place and got pretty stressed cause I came in from Malasana on the opposite side of town, plus the apartment is on a separate staircase.
