We had arrived for one night to madrid on our way back home and were looking for a nice cheap place to stay. Marta's place delivered nice, cheap and way beyond!
The place is right on one of the main streets - Gran Via and is close to everything! Shopping places and touristic attractions alike!
The room is big and spacious, with a little balcony looking outside to the wonderful view of Madrid.
The blinders on the balcony block out the street noise perfectly and we could barely hear the noise from outside once we closed them and shot the doors half way. Though maybe for people who aren't used to city noise, might still hear muffled rumblings of the outside.
You get a private bathroom with a key, it's not big but it's very sufficient and again, only for you!
There is a shared kitchen, living room and a dining/lounging room.
The kitchen is well equipped with enough for everyone in the apartment to have (and maybe about 20 more people haha)
The living room and dining room both very cozy and welcoming, we got to see a few guests sharing the space and having a nice time. We got to sit at the dining room on the sofas to have our breakfast as well, with another balcony looking out to the street and the beautiful buildings around.
Not sure how many people are in the apartment at a time but we barely saw any of them. We had to get approved to book the place so I bet the others were vetted like us. They were all very respectful, polite and nice when we did see them.
We were checked in by Victoria who was wonderful and communicative and had contact with Julio the doorman, who was very responsive when we had some technical issues understanding how to lock our doors.
So if you're looking for a nice place to stay, with a good crew, and right in the heart of Madrid, this is it!
