Great location near Opera and on a charming and relatively quiet street. The apartment is like an aerie on the 5th floor with many small windows letting in light and providing rooftop views of Madrid. It was quite a peaceful space and really appealing with the many personal touches Andres has put into it from plants to nice towels, great lighting, etc. It actually feels like a home. Be prepared for cosy as the space is small and the stairs up to the bedroom area are steep and without a railing (we suggested some hand holds and perhaps a runner to cut down on slippery jaunts to the bathroom during the night and Andres was receptive to these suggestions). The bed is comfortable if a tad challenging for two to navigate with the low ceiling but there is a pull out sofa in the living room that works well for one if you don’t want to grapple with the stairs and lower ceilings above. Elevator works well and quickly. Varied restaurants nearby from Turkish to African to an upscale bakery/coffee shop with walls of the old city featured under clear plastic flooring. When I left after our short two-day stay, I thought how great it would be to have a month in that space and neighborhood...
