We had a marvellous time in Gabriela's apartment, which commands an absolutely beautiful view of Madrid's Plaza de Cascorro, a dynamic part of the central city. The apartment itself is elegant and beautiful - but also easy to live in, with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. There was just the right amount of homeliness to allow us to relax quickly and to feel it was our own space. It was very quiet, and secure, yet incredibly close to everything. It was very exciting to watch El Rastro being set up on the Sunday morning ... the great flea market which apparently takes place every Sunday in the plaza below. Gabriela gave us plenty of great advice and recommendations for handy places to eat, and was a really responsive host. This is a terrific apartment and a lovely experience. We would certainly choose to stay here again in the future.
