Álvaro’s place is as advertised. We had a great stay in the heart of La Latina, a 5-minute walk from Plaza Mayor, and right next to Calle Cava Baja, with some of the best restaurants in Madrid. The apartment is comfortable and has all basic necessities. It was cool when we arrived out of the 100/40 degree heat of August.
The beds were very comfortable, entire space was super clean and bright. The key pickup was at a city locker a 5-min walk away and was seamless. Checkout was super easy: we just had to leave the keys in the apt and close the door.
The apt is on the third floor of an old building with an elevator, which was super convenient for getting our bags upstairs. The kitchen is fine for a short stay (we only stayed two nights and did not cook at all). It has a very small fridge, small dishwasher, microwave, and wash machine.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Álvaro’s and would recommend it for your trip to Madrid!
