The place was well suited for our needs, very clean and cozy.
The area is very well connected in terms of transport and amenities.
The nearest metro subway station is only 5 minutes away (Marqués de Vadillo). The way from the airport was also pretty easy to navigate, Francisco provides detailed instructions whichever route you wish to take plus google maps also helps. I suggest getting Metro tickets in 10's (€12.20) which can be shared by multiple passengers. There is a Dia Market right in front of the building, and a Lidl about 8 minutes walk away. There are also bars, restaurants and local grocers close by.
We did a day trip to Segovia, about 30 minutes by there fast train at €11 each way, make sure to book a trip in advance at Renfe:com to get the best prices and times. A trip to Toledo could also be had for the same expense.
Most tourist attractions in Madrid can be done walking if your itenerary is planned properly.
Madrid Rio park was literally on our doorstep which we only explored in the last 2 days of our stay.
I definitely would recommend going to Madrid and off course staying at Francisco's place.
Thanks for hosting us!
