Now to Madrid
My friend has basically decided she now wants to live in Madrid for a year instead of Barcelona. She wants to live in a residential area, near a metro stop with easy food shopping. Salamanca is too expensive so we looked at a map and there is Chueca, the area south of Retiro, and renovated area near the Manzanares. Damon mentioned the area east of Retiro, which she will explore, but which none of us are familiar with. Her needs are an elevator and A/C.
Is there any other area she should consider?
(I am certainly glad we did not make any airline reservations. It seems you take Ryan or another cheap-o carrier to Paris for about 60 bucks each way. I will see what other places we can visit for a short flight and low fares.)
Thanks again

I like the Chamberi district very much. Just a few metro stops from the heart of the city, nevertheless a slower pace here and nice local atmosphere shops, daytime cafes, terraces and tapas bars.
