Roman's apartment met our needs very well. The space was adequate and the facilities were great. The continental breakfasts (including eggs) left for us were greatly appreciated, as was the air conditioning, in a period of high temperatures. The locality was only a 15-45 minute walk from Madrid's main attractions, and there is easy access to public transport . The nearby metro station provides an easy and economical route to the airport. Security in the building is good, and the neighbourhood is quiet. The area is not 'touristy', and the local cafes, restaurants and bars, frequented by locals were very friendly and helpful, though we were not speakers of Spanish. We would definitely stay in Roman's Madrid apartment again.
