Alvar's apartment is a truly unique place to stay in Madrid. The actual apartment is spotless and so well designed to provide everything you need in a small space. The location is unbeatable - 30 metres from the Mercado San Miguel and the Plaza Major. The best part however is the roof terrace overlooking Plaza Major and with an unbeatable 360 degree view of the Madrid skyline. Alvar is a lovely guy with great communication and perfect English. Be aware that the flat is accessed via 125 stairs (we counted them!) - Alvar is very clear about this but it may make the apartment unsuitable for some.
