We felt so fortunate to stay in this well-appointed and beautiful apartment literally in the middle of everything. We were able to achieve a perfect environment for ourselves—kept cool with exterior window shades and powerful air conditioning, easily equipped from the nearby supermarket, and easy to keep clean with all necessary supplies provided. This was a truly non-smoking apartment which was a relief to us. This was a great space to call home because it felt like home. We were able to cook in the electric stove and microwave oven, do laundry in the washer and dryer, and clean dishes in the dishwasher while preparing for the work day ahead with wifi coverage suitable for video conferencing. We were also able to plan our weekends with the provided guide books. My spouse and I shared this two bedroom two bathroom apartment. It would have been perfectly appropriate for a child or friend in the second bedroom.
Our visit was quite and peaceful except for our last night, a Friday night on which a neighbor on the floor had planned a party which got a little smoke-y and rowdy. In fairness, it was a Friday night in Madrid.
Certainly, the best thing about this apartment was our host who took care of not only the everyday ordinary things about hosting an airbnb but also some unusual work as well. We had an unforeseen issue with customs while attempting to mail ahead supplies. Victor must have fielded ten emails and phone calls about the situation despite our request to Fedex that he not be contacted while we worked on the issue. He truly cared about resolving the situation and we could see that same care reflected in the way that he maintains the apartment.
Our thanks to Victor. We hope to return one day to Madrid and to this beautiful apartment.
