Pedro was a delightful host and his place is equally lovely. I cannot think of a single thing that could have been done better. Our experience was perfect. Pedro was a pleasure to communicate with from the beginning until the very end. He made sure we had all the necessary information to do with our arrival and the use of his place. He had all the answers before we even asked. He also kept in touch throughout our month long stay to check on us and ensure we're enjoying our stay. Truly, we are so impressed with how he handled everything. As for the apartment itself, it was a true gem. It's in the middle of a busy neighbourhood, yet hidden away at the back of the building so there is no noise from the outside. It's fresh, clean, and very comfortable. You'd think a comfortable bed in a cool and a quiet place is not much to ask, but we know very well how hard it is to find that and so we appreciated it even more! The wifi was perfect and never failed us. We were doing web development work and so in need of the fastest and most reliable connection possible and we definitely found it here.
As for the location, we were a short 5 minute walk up from the La Latina metro station (a 15 minute walk from the very centre of Madrid). On the way, we'd pass many cool cocktail bars and restaurants. Also a theatre with a great standard of shows (flamenco!). Interestingly enough the best food we had in the whole of Madrid (to the best of my recollection) was in a cocktail bar right downstairs in the same building as us! Awesome tapas, side cars and gin & tonics :-) In all honesty, absolutely nothing was amiss here and Pedro went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and so we did. If we are ever back in Madrid, we will not look for any other place to stay in.
