La Vida es Bella is a wonderful appartment located in the basement of an appartment block. If you're keen on a quiet place for a good night's sleep, this appartment must be on your short list. The bed is around 150 cm wide, so a bit wider than your typical Spanish bed.
The location is just outside city centre, but you can walk easily from Calle Alberto Aguilera to Plaza Espana and beyond.
Me and my girlfriend didn't get to meet Alejandro in person, but he replied swiftly on any queries we had.
The place is spotlessly clean. The only negative thing really is that you get feel that it is damp, due to the fact that it is in the basement.
We had a great time in Madrid and we'll definitely come back!
