Julia's apartment is so well located. We could not have asked for a better locale. 1 block to the Gran Via, on the Pedestrian street of Fuencarral, and two blocks to the Puerto del Sol. The room is very private, with it's own bath, and Julia allowed us to use her refridgerator and her washer. She has the private bathroom very well stocked with soaps, shampoos, and even has a hairdryer and straightening iron for your use. The only tiny little thing I will mention is the beds are not very comfortable, but that is such a minute thing compared to the fabulous location, and wonderful hostess. She gave us suggestions for great places to dine, and things to visit. You can't go wrong! Such an incredible value in expensive Madrid.
