We stayed four nights at Antonio's Estudio en Ático en Calle BARCO to discover Madrid. In principle, it's a very nice accomodation for couples that is located just a view minutes walk away from top tourist spots like Plaza Mayor or Puerta del Sol. The area around the appartment is a pulsating district full of bars and small restaurants visited not only by tourists but also by local people and ideal to refresh having a light sangria (tinto de verano) after a great and exhausting sightseeing day in Madrid. The communication with Antonio was easy as he always answered very quickly and tried to help. As Antonio was prevented at our Check-In date, John, a friend of him, welcomed us, helped us with our luggage and showed us the appartment. Principally, the studio is very cool with lots of self-made furniture, and it contains everything needed for a pleasant stay. But unfortunately the studio was not so clean! The sink and the toilet were freshly cleaned and also the bed and towels were clean, but the rest of the appartment was full of dust and hairs from former guests. In general, we highly recommend the appartement because of its great location and ambiance, but due to the cleanliness issue we have to rate it with 3/5.
