This apartment is fabulous! Virtually brand new when I stayed and exactly like the pictures. Gemma is a generous and professional host. She has great taste and is very knowledgeable. My faith in air bnb is resored after staying here after a few previously disappointing air bnb experiences elsewhere. Very clean, tastefully decorated, generously equipped and in a brilliant location. Although behind the Reina Sofia the apartment is in quite an interesting, quiet neighbourhood which feels quite authentic and local. A slightly bohemian feel. Dozens of bars and restaurants only a few minutes walk away. Really can't see the point in staying in a hotel when you can stay here.
