Begoña was an excellent host! She was unable to meet us at the apartment but her friend met us and let us in and showed us everything that we needed to know! The apartment itself was very nice, a little tiny but it was absolutely perfect for a weekend stay for 3 people. The one thing we loved most about this apartment was the location! It was about a 10 minute walk from Gran Via, 5 minutes to El Prado and about 10 to Parque Retiro The neighborhood felt very safe and they were lots of restaurants and cafes near that were very good! I would highly recommend this apartment if you are planning on visiting Madrid!
