This was a wonderful place: clean, modern, super comfortable and pleasant. Wonderful host and can't beat the location in Barrio Salamanca. Close to Goya and Lista (a stone throw, really), close to El Retiro, 4 stations from Bilbao metro station and the Malasaña neighborhood. The terrace in the apartment was beautiful and quite enjoyable in Madrid's mild winter. When I come back to Madrid I will check this place first.
