Carmelo's apartment was as charming as we expected it to be. Moreover, the location is very close to restaurants, stores for groceries and shopping and transportation so my husband and I found it very easy to get around.

When we arrived, he gave us a little tour of the apartment, showed us how some appliances work and sat us down to explain the map of Madrid's city center. He was very accommodating and it was easy to contact him as he lives just next door.
