Soraya’s place was fantastic! She met us at the apartment and was really great with giving us directions on how to get there. It’s a pedestrian only street so this info was really helpful for the cab driver to get us closest to the building. Only a few steps from the street so not too far.
Soraya provided us with great recommendations to everything and left us a few Nespresso pods for coffee. She provided lotion, body wash, shampoo, etc for bathing. She was very quick to respond with any questions we had.
The location is perfect for exploring Madrid. You are in the middle of all of it, a stone throw away from Plaza Mayor. There a few nights where it was loud with late night drunk people but that’s to be expected as you’re almost inside Plaza Mayor. It didn’t bother me, I slept right through but my wife heard it. I recommend ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, the location is definitely worth it.
The apartment is smaller but perfect, if you stay here it’s for location and you shouldn’t be in the apartment that much anyway. The apartment itself was really nice, AC was a huge plus during such hot weather in Madrid. You have these huge windows that provide a view of the Plaza, almost don’t need an outside space, just open your window and you have the best view. There are restaurants all around you but I would recommend getting further out of the location for better food, though a few good options right at your doorstep most are touristy. The bed was super comfy and everything worked perfect. There is also a lift if you don’t want to take the stairs, it was really helpful with all of our heavy luggage.
We would absolutely recommend to all our friends and stay there again ourselves. Thanks for such a good stay Soraya, we enjoyed everything!
