Valentina was a great host. We did not get to meet her at check-in, but her friend Vanessa was friendly and met us train station to walk us to the loft. The loft it self is gorgeous and modern, however we did have an issue with keeping it cool. The loft only has 4 ACs 2 of which went out the night before we arrived. However, communication with Valentina on this issue was on point. She attempted to have the ACs repaired during our stay unfortunately it wasn't possible. We appreciated her prompt response at all hours of the day. The loft is about 30-40min away (by train or bus) to main tourist areas and shopping. Grocery stores are also in walking distance (less than 10min) We did have the opportunity to meet her on our last day in Madrid only to learn that she is a fun, loving, caring person with a bubbly personality. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Valentina!
NOTE for those who book this location, if you are planning on using public transportation, a bus stop is only 3-4min walk, the train station is about a 10min walk. Buses cost 1,50 Euro, and trains 2,00 Euro. We purchased a METROBUS pass which was good for 10 trips (bus or train) for 12,20 Euro. This was enough for 3 days for us. Public transportation is so easy and clean here, you shouldn't have problems with navigation.
