This listing was awesome. It was the perfect space for me and my friends. Melvin was consistent and very quick to respond. He made sure that we knew to call and gave us instructions on how we could do it (we're from the US so we didn't have working phones). Upon arriving, Melvin sent someone to greet us and it was very smooth. The apt doesn't have a lift but there aren't too many stairs in case you have huge luggage like I did. It was very clean (and he even had wine/refreshments waiting for us which was a really nice touch. There were also plenty of towels which was a huge thing for us since we didn't bring any. I know people have been commenting about the electric toilet system but it really isn't that bad. The wifi also gave us no issues.

The area is very lively but it also felt very safe. As 3 girls, we felt completely fine walking around at night (it helps the police station is also across the street). As stated by other people, it is legit right next to Gran Via and the Callao metro stop. Walk a little further and you have the center of the city at Puerta del Sol. There is so much to do on just that tiny stretch it makes for really great exploring with no agenda. All said and done, we had an AMAZING time and would love to come back one day. Gracias!!!
