Carlos's apartment is a wonderful location for visiting Madrid! It's just outside the city so it's less touristy and quiet, and the balcony has fabulous views of the city and the mountains. The apartment itself is just like the pictures show - tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook meals, and there's heat if you visit when it's cold. He left coffee, spices and olive for cooking, which is available to use and replace, and even left us a bottle of wine. The living space has a TV, great views from the large windows and doors to the balcony, a large comfortable couch and dining table. There's an elevator, a washing machine and a dishwasher, and the wireless is fast. This is an excellent value and we'd love to stay again if we're in Madrid.
