This is a nice apartment on a quiet street in Madrid. Great location, as it is near many sites to visit, as well as close to the train station and subway station. We found a yummy tapas place 2 minutes from our door, and had breakfast at a cute restaurant at the end of our block. We did not cook at the apartment, so I cannot comment on that; only had coffee. Initial access requires your cell phone; mine got lost en route to the apartment, so I did not have that ability to unlock the door that way. We called the host number (I did have a print-out of the location/contact) and they were very helpful in getting us in (remotely!), and once in, had a key to use for our stay. My only complaint of this apartment is that there is very little, negligible, natural light. There are 2 small windows in the bedroom but they are near the ceiling and have blinds covering them (not reachable). There is adequate lighting in the apt but I could not just look out to see if the sun was out or not or if it was raining. Not a big deal, as we did not spend all that much time in the apartment during the day.

The hosts were extremely welcoming and supportive. They gave us lots of ideas for enjoying our two-week stay to the fullest. Subsequently we had an unbelievable time in Madrid and its environs. This second floor apartment is in a central location with an amazing variety of places to see within walking distance. The Atocha train station is about a ten minute walk and the nearest Metro station is within five minutes. We were delighted with getting to know the neighborhood as well as exploring others places of interest.
