We were looking for a place to stay for a few days, visiting friends in Madrid, and, though it was pretty last minute, super host Consuelo worked very hard to give us the information we needed, messaging into the early hours of the morning. We were greeted on time and shown round the apartment, which is modern, compact and strong on design, with quality fixtures and fittings. It was also spotlessly clean. We found the bed extremely comfortable (the mattress firm, but not too much so) . Bathroom, kitchen, TV area were all well appointed and obviously quite recently decorated. It was a nice touch that quite a few toiletries, as well as kitchen supplies, had been left for our use. We did not spend much time there during the day, but it proved a perfect base for meeting up with friends and sightseeing. It is located away from the main tourist areas, in a peaceful, fairly genteel, residential area, very quiet at night. However, it is just a few minutes walk away from a major avenue and two metro stations, so very convenient for getting into the centre and there are quite a few shops, bars and restaurants nearby that seem to have a pretty much exclusively Madrileño clientele. In summary, it was perfect for our needs (a comfortable base with all mod cons) for a short city break.
