Where to begin? Rosa is an exceptional host. Not only is she very welcoming, friendly and caring, she is also an extremely interesting person. She is an independant person but is always happy to chat, give advice and help in any way she can. Her apartment is stunning and is much more interesting than any hotel I've stayed in. It is comfortable, spotlessly clean and perfect for short or long stays. The decor is tasteful and artistic and generally just a delight to be in. The room is spacious, the bed is comfortable and the internet is extremely fast. The other bonus is that you have your own complete bathroom. When I arrived, everything was prepared for breakfast the next day and Rosa asked if there was anything else I needed or would prefer. She is a remarkable person who will enhance your stay in Madrid. The location is also excellent. The street itself, whilst very central and ideal for visiting some of Madrid's finest sights, seems relaxed and removed from the hustle and bustle of other central locations. The apartment is peaceful and you never hear a sound in your bedroom. I felt very comfortable and at home with Rosa. I was staying with her whilst I looked for a place to live, as I have moved to Madrid, and would happily have moved in, had it been an option! I can't recommend Rosa enough!
