Above and beyond expectations! The stylish and clean 2 bed/bath apartment is in super convenient location, off on a quiet and safe side street, but just a just a few minutes walk from the Plaza Mayor, San Miguel Market, and The Royal Palace of Madrid. Loads of restaurants are located nearby as are small little markets to stock up on water and basic necessities. The flat has a small modern kitchen area nicely stocked with a coffee maker, kettle, pots, and pans. The beds are comfy, WiFi worked great, and the whole apartment has a wonderful light airiness to it given that there are 3 small balconies that allows light and air into the flat. FYI— for fellow Americans, aside from the sheer curtains over the windows, there are “outdoor shutters” that will totally block out light; Just pull the strap off the side of the window (the shutters are kind of hidden at the top).
Aside from the absolutely lovely apartment, what really exceeded my expectations, was Alvaro himself. From the moment of booking the flat, Alvaro was so on top of communicating every aspect of our stay and even sent out information of local area attractions, nearby restaurant recommendations, and other essential local businesses.
Unbeknownst to us in our haste, we left a couple of items behind TWICE! Alvaro informed us and we were able to retrieve one item immediately. The other left -behind item wasn’t discovered until we were well on our way out of Madrid but Alvaro was kind enough to hold it until we were able to get back into town a few days later. Not only did his cleaning crew did an immaculate job of cleaning the flat but are totally trustworthy as well!
Absolutely wonderful stay and highly recommended! Thanks again Alvaro !
