A five star stay all the way... what an amazing space in a super location... Miguel and Adrian have out done themselves in creating an incredibly stylish and comfortable space in the midst of Madrid... the numerous extra touches and the personal care given to us truly made our stay memorable.
The photos on Airbnb don’t do justice to the apartment.. the space is bright from the high windows... though no direct sun at this time of the year (end November). The apartment is surprisingly quiet despite being right next to the Plaza major and the Mercado San Miguel... we opted to use the front bedroom next to the street as the mattresses were firmer than the one in the back bedroom.. if you are a light sleeper , you might want to use ear plugs as it can be somewhat noisy... this was not an issue for us however.
The amenities are beyond what would expect from an Airbnb rental with too many extra touches to list here...
The kitchen, though being very small, was extremely well equipped... - nothing was missing...
Netflix is available on the bedroom TVs... adding it to the living room TV might be a bonus...
The master en-suite has a hands down best shower ever ! Loved the towel rack and that bathrobes are supplied... (note: not one size fits all... more a trim European size... a tad small especially after Churros con chocolate from San Gines a five minute walk... :-))
Would return here in a heartbeat ... cannot more highly recommend !!!
We were contacted the day after our arrival to check to see if all was ok... and an additional time to recommend some special events happening in the city...
The owner was there to check us in and to give tons of city info including a walking tour map of the area...
Check out the book in the apartment about secret Madrid - it gives a number of suggestions to see things not normally visited in the city... (like buying cookies from a convent nearby where the purchase is by a revolving door allowing the nuns to remain hidden.... a super experience .. and the cookies were delicious 😋)
If we were to live in Madrid... this would be the place ...
Thank you Miguel and Adrian for making our Madrid stay so memorable !
