This is a great apartment in a fabulous location within walking distance of many lovely bars and restaurants and the main areas of Grand Via and Plaza del Sol are about a 20 minute walk. It is in a leafy square and the sun hits the balcony in the late afternoon/early evening. The decor is very arty, modern, bright and tasteful.
There are 3 double beds, one with an en suite and one other bathroom with shower. There is also a separate toilet and basin. Everywhere was very clean and the beds were comfy.
The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use all the appliances. The only bug bear was that there wasn’t an electric kettle and waiting for the kettle to boil on the hob seemed to take forever!
The apartment is on the 2nd floor and the only access is via a very small lift - there are no stairs but I believe there is a door (that is kept locked) which has access to stairs if the lift is broken or if you need to evacuate due to a fire.
We didn’t meet the host during our visit but we were given access to the apartment by a non-English speaking chap. As our Spanish is pretty non-existent, it made instructions he was trying to relay to us a little tricky!
We would definitely stay here again. There are a few restaurants recommended by the host which we tried and all were close by and excellent. Even the bar/restaurant next door was lovely for just a drink or a meal if you can’t be bothered walking in to town. La Carbonera, Bar de Quesos was also a fab restaurant nearby, particularly if you like cheese!
It was easy to pick up taxis from the square too.
