Alex's apartment is fantastic. It is roomy, comfortable and has about everything you could need -- two good sized bedrooms, kitchen, living room, study, bathroom, and a room with a dresser and wardrobe to out clothes and suitcases in, in addition to a nice wardrobe in the other bedroom.

The beds felt great at the end of the day and Alex has lovely sheets, towels and duvet covers.

Alex went out of his way to make us feel comfortable in the apartment and in Madrid. He took us for a tour of the neighborhood and recommended restaurants and bakeries.

The location could not be better-- just a few blocks from the prado, the reine sofia, the thyssen, a metro stop, within walking distance of the atocha train station , some elegant hotels .
