The apartment is in a good location on the west side of Madrid. Short walks to the Metro, the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor. In a less touristy area, so location is good for experiencing Madrid like a local. Local markets and local restaurants. Mercado de la Cebada has all the local food but less touristy than Mercado de San Miguel. And local restaurant Rio Sol is a place to see locals enjoying their evenings.

Good place for a family with one child, or maybe two. There is a small loft bed that kids would love. The living room and bedroom are comfortable in size. The kitchen and bathroom are European city size. Small, but comfortable. This is not a place that is regularly lived in. So it's very clean and organized. At the same time, it's not lived in, so not completely equipped like a regular home.

Host is very responsive. Internet was not working and they came by multiple times to get it to work. They also came by to drop off a hair dryer. They were also very considerate and dropped off an extra child's blanket in case our son got cold.
