By photos of this listing I could see that this place has rustic charm and may be interesting, but reality exceeded my expectations. This place gives you exactly what you need on vacation. Peaceful retreat that is within the walking distance to everything. Most of all this apartment is an experience in it self. Starting from the heavy iron door from the street it continues with the beautiful stairwell with red painted old wood details. It has all the old historical charm but it has all the modern convenience. The elevator is hiding behind the stairs. It is small but takes you almost all the way up to the 5th floor. The last flight of stairs you have to walk up. When inside , this place never stops to amaze you. In every corner there is some interesting art object to see. The view from the bedroom is stunning, the peaceful mornings on the terrace are undisturbed by anything. After a long walk in the Prado museum the comfy armchair with a footrest is the most welcome feature of this place. Working wifi and nespresso coffee machine is the final touch of perfection to our Easter weekend in Madrid.
