Stay here for a really charming local experience! Juan and Ammar were absolutely amazing hosts and so kind! It was a great way to start my trip in Madrid. They were super communicative as soon as I reserved the Airbnb all the way to departure and even met me at the apartment to welcome me there (super helpful for a solo traveler). The apartment has so much charm from architectural details rooted in 100s of yrs old original design, to modern and updated finishes. Nice and spacious (dining and living room). This beats a hotel stay any day and I would definitely stay here again (solo or with a couple of friends -- this feels like an ideal size for solo, couple, or three). The balcony off the living room and bedroom were perfect for bringing in more sunshine into the apartment or people watching as you appreciate the scenes of the city. The apartment has everything you need to feel at home and either have a night in and cook, work from home, wash your clothes etc. Youre a short walk from a grocery store, many restaurants, and great viewpoints (also quick Uber to airport too).
General pro tips:
Wifi was great!
The building is on a cute alley street that becomes lively in the evening (bar below and across the street from a Michelin star Italian restaurant). During the daytime, it's super super quiet. For the very light sleepers, bring ear plugs but the tradeoff is that the location is fantastic, the apartment is unique/safe, and such an easy walk to so many directions within Madrid!
Awesome closet space, it was perfect for tucking away luggage in a fashionable spot.
No elevator, you're on the second floor, so you will have to carry your luggage up a few steps (not too many and easily manageable if you're alone).
