This apartment is airy and spacious and beautiful - just as pictured, but even better. :) The apartment is a real living space, with beautiful and heartfelt design and art touches but also everything you would need to actually live there comfortably - I felt like I was staying with friends, or in my very own apartment - that's how comfortable and well outfitted it was! The hosts are so kind and responsive, and when I arrived they took the time to give me a lot of tips and advice on where to go in the neighborhood and the city. The neighborhood is really great - close enough to walk to a lot of the attractions of the city if you're a walker, but also not too touristy. Overall this is one of my favorite Airbnbs I've ever stayed in, and I hope to stay again next time I'm in Madrid! A few good-to-knows: the neighborhood is near a going out area (although it's not over any bars), so you can at times hear people being loud on the street at night, but overall this didn't bother me much. The host kindly included ear plugs in case I should want them, but I didn't use them. There is also no air conditioning, which makes for somewhat warm sleeping in August, but there is a very nice fan with a quiet mode, so between that and leaving the windows open it is still very comfortable. The bed and pillows are also very comfortable!
