Rosa's apartment is spectacular-- it is just as well designed and cutely decorated as the pictures and it actually seems bigger in person than the pictures seem. We could not have asked for a better location-- right around the corner from Plaza Mayor, 10 minute walk to Sol, and walking distance to the Retiro and Cibeles. We thought we would have to use the Metro a lot but didn't end up having to-- we walked everywhere! The apartment is also just around the corner from the Mercado de San Miguel making it easy to pop in for a tapa and caña. There was some street noise at night (madrilleños like to stay out late ;) ) but this is typical of Madrid. On arrival Rosa met me in the street and helped orient me to the neighborhood and apartment-- she was so sweet and very quick to respond on the app. We loved our Madrid Airbnb experience at Rosa's and would definitely stay here again-- highly recommend!!
