Traveling through Spain for a friend's birthday, there were four of us choosing spaces and places. Fernando's place was on our short list, but we opted for another in La Latina, that simply did not work out because of noise and general disrepair in the unit. So, after the first night we looked for another option, and Park Madrid popped up. We contacted Fernando to see if it was possible to see the space before booking, which he said, "yes, of course" so, we did, and once inside were immediately taken by the lush and luxe atmosphere and spaciousness. Since the neighborhood itself is actually upscale with some chic and spendy stores, It actually felt a bit like an old school, swank hotel. Also, the neighborhood was more sedate, with beautiful architecture and wide boulevards, with the subway just a short walk, and Mercado de La Paz also just a short walk away, where among other things, we found some *really* good Mexican food, complete with a comal used to prep fresh corn tortillas; the food was DF style, and even included Huitlacoché!! In the end, the switch saved our Madrid experience. And finally, because the space is so roomy, it was easy for each of us to find our own nook within the apartment to read or spend some time napping or otherwise taking time for oneself for an hour or two to recharge. Oh, and the elevator, aka "ascensor" is kind of dream as it whisks you up to your floor.
