Alfredo was a wonderful host! We arrived late on a Friday evening (which was no problem) and he greeted us with a big smile, a delicious plate of jamon, and loads of info about his apartment and the surrounding area. He was flexible about check in and check out and even helped me carry my suitcase up to the 4th floor. All in all very accommodating! The apartment itself was very clean and well equipped. We especially enjoyed making use of the balcony - it was a definite plus to be able to enjoy a drink or two outside after a long day of sightseeing. The apartment is easy to access via public transport and a great base for your stay in Madrid, within easy walking distance of many of the city's attractions. The Chueca neighborhood itself is lively and has a great atmosphere with lots of shops, restaurants and bars. We would recommend this place to anyone staying in Madrid for a few days: the apartment, location, and especially Alfredo, make discovering this beautiful city even more special.
