We stayed at Enrique's house for 4 nights in early January and I couldn't have imagined a better rental experience.

The apartment is in a great area- a 3 minute walk to the La Latina metro and 5 minutes from Calle Baja - best tapas in Madrid and lots going on. It's also located on the corner of two streets and is 1 floor up from the street- so you have windows on two sides, overlooking the square, with little to no road noise.

I would give the inside of the apartment 6 stars if I could! It must have been renovated very recently, so it's all very nice looking with a great kitchen for cooking if you decide to. The bathroom is great, bedroom and bed are very comfortable. Plenty of heat for the winter months. And most importantly, it's designed and decorated really tastefully. Plenty of books to check out, a blackboard wall if you're feeling creative, great lighting, comfortable chairs, etc.

Enrique is a great guy! Before I arrived he was very helpful in giving me directions and advice on how to get from Barcelona to Madrid, and he also offered to research things for us to do once we were there. Once we arrived, he had some breakfast items for us and milk in the fridge-

I would love to live in his apartment, but would also settle for just renting it again sometime. I can't recommend it enough!
