Carmelo's studio is perfectly located in Madrid near all the sights and several cool neighborhoods are right outside the door. The apartment was spotless when we arrived and looks exactly like the pictures--we even felt that it was bigger than the photos made it look. The apartment building is safe and secure and the apartment is fully equipped with everything you need to feel at home--we especially enjoyed being able to use the washing machine and were happy to find a drying rack in the wardrobe! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Madrid!!!
