The apartment was beautiful, tastefully decorated and spacious. It was also ideally located- minutes walk away from the major sights. There are also many Metro station options.
As for Alicia, she is a great and patient host. Our bus from Granada ran late and we took the cab to the apartment thinking it will be faster. Wrong move- traffic was bad. But she patiently waited for us and that made me grateful! I will definitely use Alicia again for our next trip to Madrid.
