Luz's place was my home-away-from-home for 8 nights while I was in Madrid. Having lived in Madrid for years, I didn't need a place in the touristy center, but I love it here!! I felt at home and actaully miss this cute little apartment. (It's nicer than my Chicago place!) Coming "home" to a comfortable, clean place with cable TV and a charming balcony was amazing. The place was spotlessly cleaned and has anything and everything you might need or have forgotten: from toothpaste to shampoo to spices to tea. It's quite literally all here. The location - perfect. For being in the center of the city, I found it very quiet at night...but then again, Chicago can be very noisy. Everything is updated and modern, very easy to use. Are there any negatives? Well, no, but if I had to say something, the small closets in the bedroom loft have just 4 hangers (Not a problem for me, but if your wordrobe is high-maintance, it could be...) and obviously, you have to haul your clothes up and down the ladder to pack/unpack. Tip: When packing, just toss everything over the loft to the floor below. Although there are tons of cupboards and cabinets, they are all filled, so there really isn't any storage space for your things, if you plan on a longer visit. Suitcases really have no place to go, but I managed to fit mine under the loft ladder. As a solo traveller, the place was ideal for one person. All in all, I LOVED Luz's place and whenever I am back in Madrid, this would be my first choice. Gracias por todo Luz. :-)
