Gorete was great with communication, Alecia met us and showed us everything we needed to know. We had a list of sites we wanted to see and walked to everything. The apartment was spotless, well stocked with everything you would need and nothing you don’t. It is small but doesn’t feel it, uncluttered, everything tucked away out of sight. The neighborhood was around the corner from Plaza Santa Ana, the most wonderful place in Madrid, a huge square surrounded by restaurants, each with outside seating. It was February, so chilly, but we sat in the plaza and people watched every evening and had wine under the heat lamps /gas heaters, my husband could smoke a cigar. Heaven. Ana La Santa Restaurant and Cervecería Alamaña were favorites. Always 2 cabs waiting on the corner if you wanted to jump in. Bed is firm, very firm. Bar are loud all night but I found ear plugs in bathroom . Vi Cool on 1st level, good tapas. Market & wine stores 1 min away. Prado, flamenco, el Rastro, we did it all.
