Carmelo's apartment is the perfect place for a stay in Madrid. It is located in a lovely neighborhood with great restaurants, cafes, bars and is basically in walking distance of everything. Carmelo was very nice and welcoming. He gave us great tips for the city and showed us all the must sees on one of the the countless city maps he keeps for his guests to use. He also let us check-in early which was a huge plus since our flight arrived in the morning. All in all Carmelo took great care of us and I would gladly stay at his place again!
