This is the definition of a perfect place to stay. The apartment is clean, cozy and neat with a comfortable bed, nice sitting area and an unbeatable terrace right above Plaza Mayor in the heart of the city. Lots of windows provided terrific natural light and air flow through the apartment.

Soraya and her husband were great hosts, responding to any questions we had quickly and completely. They also left a great map of the city with extensive restaurant, grocery and sightseeing recommendations that was invaluable. Their recommendations led us to one of our favourite meals in Spain at the oldest restaurant in the world and the best churros con chocolate we had in the country.

All the sites were within walking distance and we didn't use any transit through our stay in Madrid.

This apartment cannot be beat. I mentioned it before, but it's worth repeating. Sipping a glass of wine on the terrace looking down on the plaza in the late afternoon is just a magical experience.

This is the type of listing that defines why I travel with Airbnb. Can not recommend this enough.
