Rupert's loft was wonderful. It is located in a safe part of Madrid close to restaurants and a couple markets. It is also a short walk (5 minutes) to the metro station (9 line) which will take you anywhere you want to go in Madrid. Rupert was unable to meet me upon my arrival (he was out of town) but did arrange for 2 trusted friends of his to meet me. Rupert had the refrigerator stocked with food and drinks for me and the loft was very clean when I arrived.

The loft is located in a secure building with a concierge at the main gate 24 hours a day. The building is very quiet and it is easy to get a good nights sleep in the comfortable bed. The loft also has air conditioning which is very nice (and rare) for hot summer days and nights in Madrid. The WiFi in the loft works great. There is also a washer and dryer in the loft that can be used. The building has a nice pool that can be used during the summer.

Rupert provided some maps and guides for my stay in Madrid which made learning the city much easier. I was able to arrange for an extended stay at Rupert's loft which made my trip to Madrid much more comfortable. While the loft is not in the center of the city it is very close to a metro stop that makes it easy to get into the center of town very quick.

I had one issue with the air conditioning while Rupert was out of town, but it only took Rupert a few minutes to respond to my email and get the building concierge up to the loft to fix it. The entire issue was resolved within 20 minutes of my sending Rupert the email about it.

Overall my experience was wonderful. Rupert was very nice, the loft was very private and clean, and the location, while not in the center of the city, was close enough to the metro that it made getting around the city very easy. I would recommend this loft for people who have a little more time to spend in Madrid and want a nice peaceful, quiet place to retreat to after exploring the city all day. I would stay at Rupert's loft again for any trip I make to Madrid.
