Carlos' place surely deserves the Airbnb plus title since it is ideally located, renovated, sparklingly clean, and full of great amenities.
First of all, Carlos gave us a very warm greeting and made sure to explain everything about the apartment. He even had a present for our daughter! If you have children, this apartment is amazing as the baby cot is very comfy, there is a tub, high chair and many toys available. All these items are new, clean and of excellent quality.
The apartment is cosy, the smart tv is great, with 3000 channels, and Carlos lefts us more than enough good food. It was not only the usual welcome package, as he really stocked up the fridge and pantry with delicious foods.
In terms of location, it is ideal. In times of Covid, we wanted to be able to walk everywhere, avoiding public transport and we were able to. El retiro is 5 min walking distance and if you cross the park, you can get to the main museums and the shopping area of Calle Serrano and Castellana. Also, the apt is situated in Salamanca, which is full of restaurants and shops.
We can’t wait to return to Madrid and stay again at Carlos’ place, as we found it so pleasant. Thank you Carlos for everything!
