This is a truly lovely place to stay in Madrid. If you´re hesitating, book it now. A charming apartment and charming host, this is the perfect spot from which to explore Madrid.
The apartment itself was remarkably clean, well-equipped and had really everything you could possibly need. It´s stylishly decorated and you can really feel at home here very easily. An excellent shower and 300mbps wifi – I ran a whole online conference during our stay without a single hitch. You have all the basics for cooking (salt, sugar, oil, etc.). Everything you need is there for you.
Bruno was available at every stage for questions and was always fast to respond. He gave excellent advice on Madrid, where to go and what to see. The icing on the cake was that he even was kind enough to invite us to one of his shows – this is the sort of hospitality which is rare to find these days.
In terms of location, this is authentic Madrid. Right beside the newly developed Madrid Rio park, great for a bit of exercise or a casual walk, you´ve also got some extremely high quality local restaurants and a top-class bakery on the street. You´re less than 5 minutes away from a metro on one of the main lines and you can walk to the most hip areas in Madrid (Lavapies, La Latina) in 20-30 minutes.
We were here for a lovely 2 weeks, but I´m confident it would be a great spot for a short stay too. If this apartment is free, book it now.
