This is a beautiful, spacious apartment in a superb location. You can't beat the ample space and proximity to major sites such as Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace, which you can reach within an easy 5-10 minutes walk. The large windows fill the main living area with light, and it's really nice to be able to look out of the windows and see pretty café and street views instead of just an adjacent building, as is often the situation with large city rentals. I can feel claustrophobic in small spaces with only building wall views, so I was very thankful I didn't have that problem at all in this gorgeous apartment. While we were there the air conditioner unit in one of the two air conditioned bedrooms didn't work, but we made Alicia aware of this, and she has been in touch with a repair company about this. We traveled with our young twins who are young enough to share bedroom spaces with us, so we were able to accommodate them in the air-conditioned bedroom with us. We stayed here for three and a half weeks, and being able to return to this spacious, lovely, peaceful apartment was always a welcome respite after noisy, busy days of sightseeing. We also enjoyed eating at the café right across from the apartment where the staff is very friendly. One waitress even memorized our names and often greeted us as we came and went to and from the apartment. There's also an ice cream shop right next to the café, which was a perfect treat for the kids, especially, after busy days. When the kids were impatient with historical tours, we loved being able to tell them "if you're good, you can have ice cream from the ice cream shop tonight." It worked like a charm. Alicia was also very friendly and welcoming and not only met us at the café across from the apartment, but allowed us to enter the apartment a little early, so we could get out of the heat and start to get settled in as soon as possible. We hope to be back soon, and we highly recommend working with Alicia and staying in this beautiful apartment.
