Luis’ apartment is very comfortable, nicely appointed, and within easy walking distance of the Plaza Mayor, the Palace, the museums, shopping, and more. There were many nice touches, like good (not thin & scratchy) towels, throws in the living room to snuggle up on a chilly morning, and coffee for the espresso maker. Luis also left a nice gift of milk, juice, water, bread, butter and jam, which made us feel very welcome. The apartment is close to Puerta del Sol, but we could barely hear the noise from inside the apartment. There weren’t any instructions (that we could find) on how to use the washing machine or the heat/AC units, but we finally figured it out with the help of Google and trial & error. We also had a little trouble with the check-in, but a phone call got it sorted out fairly quickly. All in all, we would highly recommend staying in Luis’ apartment!
