- The communication and arrival
The communication before arrival was arranged via a Whats-app message and group (there were various people who could help out and who might welcome us at the apartment). In the end it was Natalia who was there when we arrived. She explained the lights, the airco, etc. Very nice, helpful and friendly. Also she followed up with some further suggestions for restaurants etc. Also a few times during our stay they asked how we were doing and informed if everything was ok. Which it was. When we had a few questions we got a quick reply, so also that worked really well!
- The apartment
The apartment is great: compact, very practical lay-out, very good bed, etc. The bathroom had everything we needed, good shower, hot water. The only thing (but now we get to the nitpicking part) is that the sink was a bit far away from the edge of the table. But that is about the only criticism I can come up with:-) Furthermore there was coffee in the kitchen, some tea as well as herbes for cooking (not that we did that...too many nice places to have breakfast, lunch or dinner). The TV worked well, the seats were rather comfortable. Nothing to complain there. Also very nice that you can open two doors to the "balcony". Not that it is really big enough to sit on, but it is nice to get some fresh air and cozy street-noise in. If you close them, it is all quiet! There was also another folding bed, nicely hidden in a closet and with some screens you could create a operate space for that. But for the two of us, one bed was enough.
- The location
The apartment was ver close to several metro stations, a Main Street with shops and restaurants and very close to a nice green square where a lot of restaurants and bars were. Great to hang out, not many tourists. To the city centre/Sol it was about 15-20 minute walk, just as to the Prado Museum, etc. Great in the morning some exercise. But for eating or drinking, enough nice places in the neighborhood (within 10 min walk a lot of those). We liked it to be not in the heart of the city, just outside, but still on walking distance. On the Saturday and Sunday the Main Street was closed for traffic, so one could play and walk on the street. Really nice!
- Would we go again?
YES, definitely. Great location, very nice apartment and friendly host! Hasta Luego!
