My mom and I had a lovely time staying at Silmara’s place. The location is perfect!! We walked everywhere. The Royal Palace is a 5 minutes walk, Plaza del Sol also and from Plaza del Sol you are 5 minutes away from Gran Via. If you need to travel, no need to take a taxi because the Opera metro station is right next to the apartment. In all, the apartment was really nice. Yes it’s really small but it’s more than enough for 2 people. Since Calle Arenal is closed for cars, it gets really loud at night. People were shouting at 3am and also the city comes and pick up the garbage everyday really late at night so you hear the trucks. To finish, I definitely suggest this airbnb. If you’re not too bothered my noises at night and you want something in the middle of Madrid, it’s the perfect place. I would definitely stay with Silmara again next time I’m in Madrid.
