Thank you David for the wonderful stay. The moment we arrived, our hospitable host drew out maps and guide and proceeded to share tips about Madrid with us. The apartment was clean. Our only grip about it was not having an air-con because Madrid is hot hot hot in the summer. Nonetheless, the cool air at night was comfortable. The location was also great. 5 mins walk to the Metro (deliacias station), 10-15 mins walk to Atocha (the main train station in Madrid), 15-20 mins by bus to the main city area.
