The flat has been very recently decorated to a high standard. I stayed for 2 weeks, so I used the washing machine, dryer, cooker, central heating and everything worked perfectly with easy instructions. A good area with plenty of friendly tapas bars, supermarkets and cafes. As a female travelling alone I felt very safe. Easy walking distance to the Prado and museums. Excellent tips from Jesús on local places to eat and visit. An excellent flat and host.
