For an extra charge, Fernando met us at the airport and drove us to his loft apartment. We enjoyed our stay in the apartment. There were 4 adults (my mother and three of her grown-up children) staying in the lift apartment. It was a tight fit, but the neighborhood was excellent, the building was nice, and Fernando did a good job renovating an older, small apartment - giving it all the amenities one expects.

If I ever visit Madrid again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. One suggestion would be to leave a laminated card near the router with the wifi information as the password was ridiculously tough with letters and numbers and upper and lower case. We ended up pulling a wire out of the wall jack flipping over the router to get the info and had no Internet during our visit - which made it hard to figure out how to get around town.
