The best experience I had in many years of much travelling and having tried numerous accommodations of all kinds.
I shall start with our host Ines who is extremely kind, accomodating and understanding. My friends were, at the start, making fun of me and of how much I was praising her; until they experienced themselves Ines' hospitality. I was arriving very early on Friday and Ines gave me the apartment keys as soon as I arrived in, since there were no guests in the house from the night before; and she let me stayed as well couple of hours later on Sunday for the same reason. Something that I truly and inmensely appreciate.
The apartment enjoys an unbeatable location, right behind the main governmental building in the Sol square; which makes it very central and safe.
The apartment itself is tastefully decorated with modern furniture, candles and essences; so when you go in a lovely scent welcomes you.
There are lots of storage space too.
Downstairs there is one room with two twin beds and upstairs, in the attic, you got the main room with a double bed. This room leads to a balcony from where you can see Madrid's skyline. Definitely one of the selling points for the apartment.
The water power is really strong in the shower.
Ines makes sure you have everything you need during your stay, hairdryer, shampoo (tre semme), towels, coffee, oil, salt and some muffings and she had the heating on and the boiler when I arrived in. She also lives next door, so you can contact her anytime in case you need anything.
I'd highly recomnend this place to anyone who is planning to stay in Madrid. We cant wait to return.
