We booked Orlando's place at the last minute when our reservation cancelled. Orlando was very quick to respond and alleviated the stress of booking late.
We arrived early than the check in time but Orlando allowed us to drop our bags which was thoughtful. The flat is in Lavapies, a couple of minutes walk from the metro station and in a busy, bustling street. It can be loud in the evening if you're not used to the Spanish evening life but it is also a sign of being right in the middle of a lot of bars/activities which we liked. The flat is walking distance from everything central; we barely took the metro. You are about 15 minutes walk to Sol, 10 to the Reina Sofia museum and Atocha, about 15 to el Parque del Retiro. All very convenient.
The flat itself was very clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable. I liked the breakfast bar and the mini living room/TV area. It was all well thought through.
Orlando was always very quick to respond; check in and check out was very easy.
I would definitely recommend staying there; my husband and I had a great time!
