Hilda’s place was beautiful, sparkling clean, everything looked newly- and stylishly decorated! New double-paned windows in the front kept street noise out, and opened to
nice, small balcony.
The location was very good, close to Metro stop (<5 minute walk), and very close to several plazas with outdoor dining and groceries. The actual block the apartment is on looks like it is undergoing renovations, and the building itself - graffitied door, unrenovated entry-way and stairs shouldn’t put you off, as when you enter the apartment everything is brand-new and sparkling clean! A very cool neighborhood! Real Madrid living!
