I was in contact with a number of Airbnb hosts in preparation for my Spain trip. Luis was the most responsive. My emails were answered typically within an hour. Luis is also kind, pleasant, and polite. He greeted us at the apartment with fruit, chocolate, and wine, and gave us a lot of information. The apartment is small, particularly the bathroom. However, for one or two travelers whose main goal is to spend most time out exploring the city and to use the apartment to sleep at night, this place can meet the needs quite nicely. The location cannot be beat. The neighborhood is centrally located and it is easy to walk to many places, or if you prefer to use public transit, the subway station is 2 minutes away. The neighborhood feels safe and has plenty of cafes, restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. Given that this is in the middle of the city, there is city noise at night. There seems to be trash pickup every night around 11:30 which can be noisy. However, if you close the windows and the wood doors TIGHTLY, it can dampen the noise significantly. WIFI worked well. The early October weather in Madrid is beautiful! We enjoyed booking with Luis and would recommend his apartment to those who are planning to visit Madrid.
