We have rented vacation places for 30 years now and this is the best city rental we have ever had. The apartment was very comfortable: beds, sitting areas, lights for reading, temperature control, appliance quality and more. It is also very well outfitted with paper products, cleaning products for all your needs (laundry, dishes, etc.), condiments, and some welcome fruit and drinks.
Sylvia provided excellent recommendations for neighborhood spots that we enjoyed. The area has a great feeling of community and people were nice enough that we felt part of it for a week. Anything you want to buy is near at hand. The beauty of nearby Retiro Park cannot be overstated and it will add to your enjoyment. This place is a 10 without a doubt. It helped us fall in love with Madrid. Now we must go back and stay with Sylvia again.
