If you were lucky enough to find this place available for your dates, thank the vacation gods and look no further. Maria and Jesus are the best hosts you could hope to find, and their apartment feels like home away from home the minute you set foot in there. It's spacious, cozy, super clean, with an extremely comfy bed, great ammenities and the most thoughtful touches you didn't even know you'd need (bought a huge bag of chips you couldn't finish and is now worried they'll go stale? Just open a drawer and smile cuz your host has a set of bag clips waiting for you!). The location, in the heart of Chueca neighborhood, is amazing -- we never even bothered to catch a bus or ride the subway and just basically walked everywhere. The area has great restaurants and bars, not to mention the lively and excellent San Antón market just 5 minutes away. At the same time, even though it's smack in the middle of the action, the apartment is so silent at night you can hear a pin drop. On top of all this, Maria has prepared a lovely guide with must-see spots, sightseeing routes plus a bunch of other useful tips that make life even easier for Madrid first-timers like myself. My only wish is to come back as soon as possible!!!
