We had a wonderful stay at Alessandro's place. It is a very comfortable and stylish apartment in an unbeatable location. The local neighbourhood with its unique ambience is great for exploring on foot and you can easily walk to the central tourist locations, Plaza Mayor, Sol, Plaza Oriente, Gran Vía. The metro station is just outside the apartment as well making it very convenient for travelling around the city. Pedro, who looks after the apartment for Alessandro, was charming and extremely helpful. There are useful tourist guides in the apartment as well as some spot on ideas and tips from Alessandro as to what the locals enjoy about living in this part of Madrid. A real home that we would love to return to.
