My boyfriend and I were looking for a place in Madrid's gay district, Chueca, and we came across this lovely apartment. The location is perfect! Shops right outside the front door, and grocery stores, restaurants, and bars/clubs all within a short walk (~5 minutes). We could walk to all the major sites within 25 minutes. Communication was really smooth, and I always received quick responses. The check-in process was painless: I messaged the host via WhatsApp that we were at the front door, and they were able to buzz us in. The apartment was very clean and outfitted with all the necessities and more. My favorite thing about the apartment was the closed-off terrace. It overlooks Calle de Fuencarral (a major shopping street in downtown Madrid), and it was the perfect place to people-watch while enjoying a cold Mahou. Due to all the foot traffic, it can get somewhat noisy if the windows are open, but closing them and the door to the terrace will block out most of the sound. The shower is kind of small, but the great water pressure made up for it. Even though other guests complained about the sofa bed in their reviews, neither my boyfriend nor I had a problem falling asleep. I actually thought it was very comfortable, but maybe I just prefer firmer mattresses. I wish we could've stayed here longer!
