We had a terrific stay at Miguel and Iaia's place. Lavapies is a really cool neighborhood and there are plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes within just a couple blocks. Its also an easy walk to Latina, the big art museums, and Huertas. Best of all is the homemade guide to Madrid provided by the hosts -- an incredible help. The apartment itself is very comfortable and cozy, in a nice and secure building. We had a great stay and would absolutely recommend it again.
