Miriam and Aaron's (M and A's) apartment in La Latina is very comfortable, and has everything you need. It did lack a dish rack on the draining board, and I wish I had thought to buy one and donate it. The 4 dining chairs need some attention: the joint between the back and the seat needs strengthening; also their upholstery is in a poor state. The distance from La Latina Metro station to the apartment is a bit longer than one would like to walk, but quite OK for a few days. La Latina is a long way from the airport, but the Metro system makes the journey quick and easy -- just remember Lines 8,10 and 5. M and A gave us very clear directions on how to find and access the apartment. Finally thanks to M and A for allowing us to use their apartment and so experience the great city of Madrid.
