This is one of the most authentic, beautiful Airbnbs I have stayed in. The check in process is extremely easy and communication with Mylene was so quick. She was eager to help arrange transportation and provide suggestions for the neighborhood. The restaurant recommendations provided were all phenomenal- take them up on their suggestions, you won't be disappointed. As soon as we walked into the flat we were amazed by the fun artistic decoration and couldn't help but walk around and "oh and ahh" at all the fun touches. Its a beautiful space. The surrounding neighborhood is hip with fun quaint restaurants and interesting shopping. Directly across the flat is a grocery store and wine shop- Score! The metro is a 5 minute walk away which was easy to use but we found there were also plenty of ubers and taxis in the neighborhood. My friend that I was staying with left a necklace behind and she contacted Mylene who quickly responded and offered to ship the necklace over seas to the states. Wow, we didn't expect this and couldn't be more grateful. We would love to come back to Madrid and would stay here again without a doubt! Book it!!
