Mauro's small apartment is very cozy and cute. The little garden is nice to have but unfortunately we could not use it, having very low wheather degrees in those days. The furniture is a nice blend of antiques and modern pieces and the two bedrooms with the 2 small bathrooms give enough intimacy to couples or families or to a small group of friends.
The neighbourhood is quite popular and is going under renovation and restructuration, very comfortable for the metro and buses and within a very reasonable walkind distance from the main attractions(Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, Palacio Real, Gran Via). We definitely enjoyed our stay in Mauro's apartment and will be back if possible.
