What a lovely hostess! Helena has a beautiful apartment right in the middle of the action- steps from plenty of bars, restaurants, and two grocery stores (perfect for a 3-4 day trip). The apartment remains fairly quiet during the day and night- there are four large window balconies that can let in as much or as little light/noise as you like! We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and lounging on the comfortable couches after a day of exploring Madrid. Helena is kind, joyous, and so accommodating. She made our trip to Madrid so incredibly beautiful!
