The most refreshing thing that comes to mind is the electronic key to both the front door of the building and the apartment. The street is very noisy and there is almost always a traffic jam. However this offers something to look at, at all times during the day. The apartment is equipped with a nice (small) kitchen and sufficient tools to prepare a proper meal or breakfast. Really the only disadvantage I could mention, is that the apartment only has a small boiler. This makes it impossible to do the dishes and have two persons have a shower consequently. Warm water finishes quickly and it takes some time to regenerate. This should not pose too many problems however. The location is in one word exquisite. It is 5 minutes away of the loveliest squares of Madrid. Price could have been a bit lower. It is still expensive, but affordable for travellers on a budget. With all this said, I would certainly recommend this lovely apartment by Ivan and Carol!
