Manuel and Marta were extremely responsive to my last-minute request and they arranged to have me meet their friend who was preparing the apartment. The title is right, the view really is amazing, and it gets even better (360 degrees) when you go up two floors to the roof deck. The location really is perfect and while you do have to check with the doorman each time you come or go, he is friendly and helpful (though we only spoke Spanish). Easy Metro and bus access, and I took a walk to la Roma that was long (40 minutes) but did not feel unsafe and passed several interesting areas.
