Paula is a great host! There were no problems whatsoever. We texted her a few times during our stay and she always answered right away (Thanks for that, Paula).
The location is just perfect. You can walk to the Retiro park (the perfect place to be in the hot summer) in 5 minutes. Atocha train station is very close, the metro station Antón Martin even closer. Puerta del Sol and Gran Vía are in walking distance. A DIA supermarket is just around the corner. Restaurants, Cervecerías, Cafés, Stores are everywhere.
The apartment is wonderful. It is very clean and has nice tasteful furniture. We felt right at home. To our surprise breakfast was included. There was milk and water in the fridge. We had cereal, coffee, tea… Also there were spices, sugar, oil and more. If you plan to cook, it’s very helpful to have these basics around. The kitchen is pretty big, the fridge is huge.
As I mentioned, the location is close to the points of interest. Much to our delight it is located in a quiet street with little traffic.
We really enjoyed our time at Paula’s place. Highly recommended!
