Excellently located flat with great cab access and fairly easy access to Metro, although we did a lot of walking to take in the city. A little noisier because of bedrooms being located near central opening in the middle of all the flats so conversations of other tenants are easily heard at times and the lift is close by. But after a day you become accustom to the various noises just as in Paris flats. Being on the 1st floor above lobby has it's benefits and of course it's negatives . Easy assess in and out especially with small bags that don't required you to use the typically tiny lift, but you have neighbors above you.
Overall though the flat is extremely clean, with updated bathrooms (two a BIG plus!), bedrooms, kitchen, and living area, and Patricia was overwhelmingly kind and helpful. Great breakfast/brunch place across street (Coffee & Cakes) and a number of very good tapas (pintxos) places nearby with Paco Meralgo being our favorite. Also great place for nice cocktails across the street (Dry Martini).
Would not hesitate to highly recommend Jose and Patricia's flat to all.
Thank you both for allowing us to be guests! Muchas gracias!
