What a perfect place for our stay in Madrid. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and absolutely perfect for our week in Madrid. It was close to a few local markets which made make picking up groceries and other necessities very easy. It was within walking distance to so many places - the Plaza de Espana, the Gran Via, the Royal Palace, the Catedral de la Alumenda, the Plaza Mayor - as well as many great restaurants and cafes. Even better, it was a 2 minute walk to the Metro, which made traveling a bit further out so easy.
Ricardo was a wonderful host. He provided suggestions for where to leave our luggage when we arrived; arranged for transport from and to the airport; and provided a fantastic welcome book with details on a variety of different things (places to shop, to eat, to visit). He was always very responsive to any questions we had and we never felt like we were bothering him. We could not have asked for a better host or place to stay during our time in Madrid!
