The directions to the apartment were accurate - we arrived at the train station and were advised to take a direct cab. Oscar was there to greet us and answered all our questions; the apartment was clean and very well located within the center of Madrid. We only took the metro once and walked everywhere. Being in the middle of La Latina was very convenient for the sites as well as food/drinks. The one downside was that even though it was just me and my husband staying, we were not able to take consecutive showers in the morning since the hot water would run out, even if the 1st was a quick 5 minute one.
