Mike's flat in the trendy Lavapies neighborhood is perfect for those who want to get aquatinted with a non-touristy Madrid. It offered a very cool look into what the city is like without many of the tourist shops and restaurants - a local experience. It is only a short 10 or 15 min walk away are all the major sights (The Royal Palace, del Prado, botanical gardens, the old part of town). The flat it self is cozy, clean, and well functioning for restiny from sightseeing. I was traveling alone and it was plenty of space for me, and should be plenty for a few more people. Thank you Mike!
