This apartment was perfect for a visit to Madrid. Carmelo provided excellent directions and was friendly and informative upon meeting us. The location is great, we walked to all the sights and it is close to Metro for airport and Atoche train station. The spot is in a very cool neighbourhood, without feeling touristy. Plus the apartment is surprisingly quiet at night despite being in such an active area. So, yes, everything is as described and if I have a chance to visit Madrid again I will book to stay at Carmelo's place!
