Great communication before we arrive. Had lots of suggestions on where to go and see plus shopping tips on the best place to buy food, restaurant,/attractions, merchandise etc. Nice gesture in leaving a nice bottle of wine to welcome us. Helen and Martin were overseas when we arrived but made sure there were friends to welcome us into the flat. Great location with lots of restaurants to visit. Perfect location as it was easy to walk to most attractions around Madrid. Friday/Saturday noise level outside was loud (to be expected) but with double glazed windows, shutters and curtains reduced the noise level by 96%.
