Way more than I could ever have expected. Arriving from MAD airport is quite easy via the metro. There is a station change, but the metro is easily naviagable and the ones you will be using are accessible. Traveling with rolling luggage won't be a problem. There are elevators and escalators.

The neighborhood is safe, the neighbors are all friendly.

The apartment building has a doorman, who welcomed me with the keys, & personally escorted me to the elevator. Upon entering the view of the outdoor pool is breathtaking. It almost feels like a european Melrose Place, but without drama, lol.

Opening the door to the apartment, I drew in a breath while squealing with delight. I was struck by how spotless it is! The wooden floors are gorgeous, the light filters in. I simply picked up my luggage to bring into the room I was staying in, and for additional care, I placed it directly on the little area rug by the night stand.

The bathroom was so clean you could eat off the toilet, lol, but no, I did not actually do so. I loved the wall tiles in calming blues and the water pressure in the shower. A hand towel and bath towel were thoughtfully left for me on the bed.

Agustina is a lovely woman, who not only made me feel like a treasured guest, but also spent time comforting me when I'd gotten flustered after a night of wondering lost after boarding a random bus in a freak windstorm. Her kindness was so appreciated. She was patient with my spanglish, encouraging when I'd felt deflated, and generous with her suggestions of an itinerary.

I apologize for the delay in posting this review approximately a month after my return to the states, but I couldn't in good conscience neglect to share my wonderful experience. My memories of Madrid are so special to me. This was my first trip abroad as a single woman from start to finish, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Agustina. I do hope to have the chance to stay with you again!
