I have been meaning to write this review for a week but I am still traveling (I got stuck in Madrid for another 5 days!). What can I say. I literally cried when I left César & Antonio’s place. Everything was absolutely perfect. Location was awesome. It was very close to Atocha and within walking distance of most everything.
The apartment was fantastic.
-Very, very well appointed. (I couldn’t find laundry detergent so I bought some and left it). I didn’t really need anything they didn’t have.
-The hairdryer was great.
-I know people, especially we Americans, complain about the washer/dryer combo but I personally love them and don’t care if it takes a bit longer. My close don’t shrink and that’s a win :-). These are common throughout Europe and in small apts in the US, so no surprises there.
-Being able to cook for myself was awesome after being on the road for over a week
- I ran into neighbors a few times and they were all super friendly and said hello.
The only thing I might suggest, and this is small, would be to add clear instructions on where to put garbage when it goes out in the house manual. I thought I had read it somewhere but couldn’t find it again. There were unfortunately no cans out the night before or the morning of my departure so I brought it to the community receptacles at the street (not far, no big deal).
And lastly, I am SO SORRY I dropped the cheese board! I was cleaning and my hand were slippery. When it hit the floor it broke. I’m happy to replace it if needed.
All I can say is that it felt like home. I will be back if César & Antonio would have me. I miss my Madrid home already!
