Hugo’s place is great. Hugo is great - communicative, helpful...The place is perfectly located. A few minute walk to the Metro, 11 minutes to the Museo Reina Sofia, a few minutes to Retiro Park, Anton Martin Mercado — so much was within walking distance! We rode the train only once and that was to go to Segovia. Around the corner is a great tapas place that doubles as a deli - Casa Gonzales on Calle de Leon. Also on Casa de Leon is a day spa so you can get a massage after a long flight. Down the street is a lovely seafood restaurant called La Barille de Letras. And don’t miss the La Sanabresa on Calle de Amor de Dios for their menu del dia. Home cooking - and a heck of a deal.
As for the apartment itself, it’s as pictured. It’s quiet and bright and sunny. Bed is very comfortable, and all that you’ll need is there. Air con works well - just all around nice place. There is no elevator so you will get plenty of exercise since it’s on the 4th floor. We used the hike up to justify eating all the good food we found via various sources online.
We enjoyed Madrid so much - in part because of Hugo’s place and it’s location - that we are already talking about going back.
Book it - you won’t be sorry.
