The Lavapies Art Apartment is a great place to stay. Located within walking distance (5 min) near the Atocha station, it is an excellent starting point for walks in Madrid, as everything is near you. In Lavapies we enjoyed the unique atmosphere of artistic and multicultural Madrid, and Calle Argumosa is definitely the place to try tapas and wines as the locals. We stayed for four nights in October, and everything exceeded our expectations. Reymer warmly welcomed us with a glass of wine (although without tapas), and Ariadna was very responsive during our stay. There's 24H Carrefour just around the corner, so you can buy anything you need regardless of when you arrive. We really enjoyed the personal recommendations of Ariadna - Cafe La Libre was really nice, and Cafelito was very interesting experience. We definitely recommend Ariadna's place!
