The hosts, Alfredo and Rafa, were very welcoming and generous with information about Madrid. Despite us changing our arrival time, due to flight delays, Rafa gave us a warm welcome and showed us around the apartment and offered further information about local facilities. In fact, there was good communication with our hosts throughout our stay. The apartment is clean, tidy, well proportioned and quiet. The layout of the apartment affords privacy for several people sharing. We both liked the apartment very much. The location of the apartment is ideal, as it is less than 10 minutes walk to the Atocha rail station and Reina Sofia, less for the nearest metro station and 20 minutes walk to the Prado. Although we did not cook, the kitchen was well equipped and food markets are nearby. We were very happy with our stay and we would be happy to stay again.
