This is a lovely apartment, situated in a bustling area of Madrid. Within walking distance, you will find an endless variety of bars, restaurants, history, and culture.
The building sits on a lively street (one street back from the Calle Mayor) with several restaurants, and it has a 'local' feel to it. Access to the building is granted via a sturdy external door, which requires a key or someone within to admit you. The apartment is accessible by stairs or a lift, and the door to the apartment is equipped with three locks, so we always felt safe.
We were met at the precise time specified, and given a thorough tour of the apartment, which was very spacious, well-equipped, and exactly as depicted.
The apartment has 3 small balconies overlooking the lively street below. These allow the sounds of the street into the apartment, which we personally loved; however, these have double-glazed doors, which do a great job of filtering this out, and we personally never had any issues getting to sleep. It also must be stressed that, although the street is lively, we never found it to be 'noisy'.
Serverine & Angel kept in touch with us frequently from start to finish, answering all of our queries and offering advice.
This was our first Airbnb experience and it has given us the confidence to use the service again. We can only hope that all of our future experiences will be as positive as this has been.
