Place is well located, just a couple of blocks from the metro and is in a good location. Lavapies is full of bars, restaurants and there is a 24hrs grocery store which is a plus. The only problem I had was that it was extremely cold in Madrid, and sadly the apartment didn't have a radiator big enough to keep the place warm. Mike was very apologetic about the situation, I suggest a small heater. The apartment is very spacious and I would definitely come back to it.
