Marta and Arturo were very welcoming and accommodating throughout our whole stay. No problems at all with the apartment. Very modern. Only thing we needed was an adapter for North American connections, which we got for 2 euros around the corner from the apartment. I swear, everything you need is a short walking distance, food, pubs, theater, pharmacy, electronics, flee market (Sundays).
This was my first experience of Madrid for my birthday and it was perfect. Walked a lot of Madrid with my two closest buddies, but if I was to do it again, I would have rented scooters earlier. :)
I love karaoke, so that was something we aimed at doing most nights. However, in our exploration of the city, we ended up having quite the walk to karaoke places.
The last night we were there, we decided to try the scooters we had seen all week. It was a game changer. Instead of hiking up some steep streets, we could have easily electric scootered our way. It has it's cost, but it seemed well worth it to me.
In summary, this is a great apartment in the middle of EVERYTHING, and the owners are super gracious. I hope I get to do it again in the near future.
