Las Delicias
We enjoyed our 3 night stay in this part of Madrid. Communication with Yadira was excellent and she met us on arrival. She speaks no English but got by with my limited Spanish! The flat is not the most modern but is clean and tidy and everything worked as expected. There was clean linen on the beds and 2 x clean towels for each guest. It's about a 20 minute walk from Atocha railway station/metro, and both Delicias metro and suburban railway (Cercanias) stations are about a 5 minute walk away. When the engineering works are completed next month on the Cercanias network, you will be able to get a direct train from Terminal 4 to Delicias.
The area is a working-class suburb but it felt very safe and didn't feel threatened at all - in fact, we ate outside one night at the tapas bar next door to the property which served good food and was very friendly. There are a number of bars & restaurants nearby, but we found a good spot at the other end of Calle de Embajadores in Plaza de la Beata Maria Ana de Jesus where there are a good number of reasonable restaurants and a lively atmosphere!
