The entire experience of our stay at Julian’s apartment can be summed up in one word - outstanding!
To begin with, both Julian and his associate Jose are the best of hosts - gracious and knowledgable, and very helpful indeed! Communication both before the stay was always prompt and the replies were detailed. Their knowledge of the city is remarkable and we got some very useful tips tailored to our requirements. Having such wonderful hosts goes a long way in making your stay memorable.
Coming to the apartment itself, it has every amenity one could wish for. It is spacious, bright, airy and very comfortable. The bed is large and comfortable and so is the other furniture. The kitchen is fully equipped with every appliance. A washing machine and dryer is in the apartment itself. The internet is fast and consistent. There is a large TV with Netflix etc. The apartment is on the 6th floor of a high rise building and there is a bank of six elevators to whisk you up and down in seconds. Being on the sixth floor, there is no noise disturbance at all, even with windows open. The location is superb, with a Metro station right outside, and with many bars and restaurants right outside the door. Behind the apartment is a park with an Egyptian monument from where one can watch a beautiful sunset over the city. The apartment is conveniently located at one end of one main avenues of Madrid, which takes you into the heart of the city. The Royal Palace and cathedral are just a few minutes walk away. There are supermarkets close by.
In closing, I have to say that while the apartment itself and location is superb, it is our hosts who made all the difference in making our stay so memorable. We would love to come back one day. So a big thank you to Julian and Jose!
Very highly recommended indeed!!
