The location of this apartment is great. It is literally in the middle of the Madrid, in the lively Chueca distrct and just off the Gran Via, a major boulevard. Very close to nightlife and many restaurants. The apartment itself is quite spacious and the bedroom is tucked away from street noises. The bathroom looks newly renovated and its shower is very good. It's a perfect place to crash after a day out sightseeing.

Ricardo was a very gracious host and met us right on time outside the apartment. He even emailed us recommendations for restaurants in the local area (the Mercado de la Reina, a 2-3 minute walk away, is a great tapas bar; Celso y Manolo is excellent for dinner).
