By complete accident, our trip coincided with the Champions League - for this reason the price was very costly (but this was the same all around Madrid). Other than this, we had a very comfortable stay in the heart of Madrid, walking distance to all highlights and eateries. Rafa was a very welcoming host and gave us plenty of tips to make the most of our stay. He was kind enough to let us put our bags in early and worked very hard to make sure the apartment was very clean upon check in. The apartment was well stocked with bathroom products which is not common for airbnbs. Highly recommend this place to others looking for a convenient place to stay in Madrid.
