Vanessa and her friend Virginia were very accommodating and tried to allow us to check-in early as our flight arrived in Madrid at 8am but because someone was checking out at 12pm we left our bags at the apartment and wandered around for a couple hours while it was being cleaned. The location is great - walking distance to many shops, restaurants, bars, metro, and patios. The apartment is cozy and has everything you need except more space! Perfect for one, snug for two. The kitchen has everything you need to make yourself at home. Thanks so much!
