Mike’s home is situated in a really nice, very central, but quite neighbourhood. While spending 5 days in Madrid I never needed to use public transport, I could reach every important site of the city within 30-40 minutes’ walk, and I really appreciated that.
The apartment is nice, sunny and quiet, if I needed to work,
every opportunity was given too. I really liked the spotlessly clean and well-equipped bathroom with the tiny but comfortable bathtub, lot of hot water. The kitchen was also nice, I could use some herbs for the salad, prepare tea, everything one needs. You can have really nice meals simply in the sitting room! :)
Mike also gave my some really good and practical advice about the neighbourhood and the city, which really helped me a lot.
