The apartment was beautifully decorated and large enough to accommodate a couple. The bathroom was one of the largest I've seen in an apartment that size. Emi and Alex were good hosts. There was also a terrace with a gorgeous view of the Madrid rooftops and the large Telecom Clock Tower on Gran Via. Beautiful!
The only two negatives were the heaters, and the 119 steps to the apartment. The heaters only work at night starting at 11pm. With my partner and I, the fuse had tripped and the heaters never came on. We froze. By the time we returned from dinner it was 1:30am and I noticed the apartment cold. I didn't want to contact the owners because it was late. The following morning we told them. I never have had a heater, in which you have no control, and turns on at night. The problem was resolved, other than the heaters, and the 119 steps to the top 5th floor, I would have given it five stars.
