It was seven weeks which I spent in Sergio's apartment.
With one word -the stay was awesome.
The apartment is stylish, clean, well equipped and has a lovely, spacious terrace. It has a good working Wifi and about 150 channels (partly Moviestar) in TV (f.e).
The bedroom can be made dark with the roller-curtains, the bed is comfortable, the linen good quality.
The location is the best what you can imagine in Madrid: close to everything but even not in the from tourist occupied busy and noisy areas.
The public transport connections are perfect. There are bus stops and metro station next door.
This home is situated close to the Retiro Park. You can enjoy the greens in the center of the town, jogging, walking, picnicin, baddling.
Some of the main attractions like Museums Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen- Bornemiza are around there.
In fact if you don't have any major flexibility problems, you can even walk to Puerta del Sol and Plaza Major in about 20 mins.
The busses nearby take among others you to the Calle de Alcala (Cortes y Ingles department store), Calle de Goya, Calle del Conde del Penalmer. These are not the cheep-selling tourist- traps, but lively, fine and busy areas.
Around Sergio's place there are lots and lots of restaurants, tabernas and cafes. My favorite in the morning was "Bread' y Breakfast" just around the corner on Calle the Ibiza.
All you need for your every day life is close: supermarkets, bakeries, market hall with fresh items, - you name it - clinic if healthy problems, barbers, shusters, beauty clinics - what so ever you can imagine.
Sergio is the most kind person, who took care of everything via mail. His partner in Madrid was always available, activ and very friendly. We had really nice chats together.
I really from my heart recommend this tiny pearl in Madirid for one or two persons, who are interested to explore this magnificent city.
So myself I definitely would like to get the possibility to stay there again.
Thank you Sergio!
