This is a charming apartment that feels like home.
Phil and Fiona are excellent hosts. Fiona greeted us at the apartment and gave us a thorough overview with a map. The local grocery store is about 3 minutes away. Phil and Fiona respond quickly to emails and Phil came right away to address an issue with the bathroom. He also gave us the best restaurant recommendation— Honest Greens.
Prior to arrival, I asked about wash cloths and laundry detergent and they were sure to supply both. (Our other air bnbs in Madrid did not.)
The apartment faces a courtyard and is extremely quiet. The neighborhood is so cute - you can take nice walks. Also the bustle of Passeig de Gracia and La Rambla are only a few minutes away. This location is incredible.
The apartment was clean and comfortable and has great views and personal touches — guide books and maps, seasonings and oils for cooking. Also, as stated above, the location is incredible. One side note is that the shower in the smaller bathroom does not offer much space for an adult so that may or may not be relevant for you. That’s a small feature that is greatly outweighed by all of the positives of this apartment.
You won’t find a better host than Phil and Fiona who go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this apartment and would stay here again without hesitation.
