We very much enjoyed our stay in Madrid. Martin's place was in a great location on a fairly quiet street. We were within walking range of EVERYTHING. Fair warning Madrid has tons of hills and especially in this neighborhood, but that helps to burn off all the pastries and Sangria. We enjoyed the restaurant/cafe's/bars close by such as Delic, and La Musa Latina, both of which accepted cc's. We went to By Cruz almost daily for a Cafe con Luche, fresh squeezed orange juice, and croissant. They were so very friendly and have free Wifi. Martin's place had everything you needed (except no washcloths). We really enjoyed Madrid.
