Carmens place is very nice and perfectlly clean! The area is off the touristtrack but in the midst of everyday spanish life. Lots of places to eat, take a drink or a coffee, little shops with everything you could possibly need. At the same time you're only three minutes away from the Metro and IF you walk for ten minutes you'll get to all the sights. Carmen was very, very helpful and Quick to anser all our questions. Her husband helped out, equally helpful and both speak perfect English. We highly recommend this place for any couple planning to spend time in Madrid! You are lucky if this place is available to book.
