Location, location, location! Flavia’s place is in the heart of the city. The booking is for one room in a three bedroom, two bath apartment. There was one other guest staying there at the same time and they were fine. We kept to ourselves.
Everything was as described. I used the kitchen and had zero issues. There’s a mini-market (Carrefour Express) about a block away that sells pastries, snacks and microwaveable meals. It was great to buy a bottle and just hang out in living room before going out or in-between outings. It honestly didn’t even feel like a break because the apartment is literally on the main strip, Gran Via.
The bathrooms have great hot water and pressure. The only downside to this place is that there are somewhat thin walls and I could hear the neighbors very clearly. I have trouble sleeping so I already had ear plugs. Also, the floors are genuine wood, so I could hear when people when moving around the apartment.
Honestly, I was barely there. It’s such a great location I spent most of my time walking around. I bought an unlimited Metro card my first day and never used it after arriving from the airport, because the apartment is so well located.
