The Airbnb photographers always do a great job at photographing the listings - this means that they highlight the best features, however, because of this sometimes when you arrive the place does not look quite as good at the photos.....
With Soraya's place, though, THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I can say with a great deal of enthusiasm that when we walked into the apartment we thought it was even more beautiful than than the photos! We were just so very happy to be in such a bright, airy, incredibly clean, and overall gorgeous place. You can tell that a great deal of thought was put into every detail. So many little touches to make the place feel luxe, yet at the same time, very comfortable and home-y. I cannot say enough nice things.
Also, we wanted to mention that, while we did not have the pleasure of meeting Soraya in person, her husband, who met us at check in, was very kind and welcoming.
I am sure there are some people who might be bothered by the noise outside, as this place is situated in a very lively area, but we were not. If you know this area of Madrid, you will know that you can expect this - it's part of the fun! (Although I will say that by simply closing the shutters it reduces the noise quite a bit if you prefer.)
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a more unique experience staying in Madrid, with all the luxuries of a nice hotel.
