It was a very nice stay in a good neighborhood with some bars and restaurants nearby. Erika is a pleasant host who speaks good English. The room and flat are comfortable with the exception of the bathroom being somewhat narrow, especially if you are used to US standards. I didn't find it to be a problem. Overall a great value for a stay in Madrid with a gracious host. Btw, the best way to get around Madrid from the flat is using Ibiza metro station just around the corner or you can walk to heart of city center through lovely Retiro park.
