We had an amazing 3 months stay at Elena and Pachi’s place. It is clean, spacious, well designed, and very comfortable. They greeted us on our first day and helped us with our bags up the stairs. They also offered to help us on our last day although we managed on our own. The wifi and internet were fast and reliable. We were there in the winter and the apartment was sufficiently warm, thanks to what I assume to be good insulation. Apartment is walking distance to most places we wanted to see and there’s a selection of bus and metro stops around to go a bit further. The neighbourhood is quite charming with its winding alleyways and old buildings, it’s an easy walk to La Latina, Cava Baja, the Palace, and short taxi or bus to Malasana. It was close to everything (groceries, markets, cafes, restaurants…) while still fairly quiet and nice to work in or relax. Elena and Pachi were awesome hosts, attentive without being intrusive. I highly recommend their place if you plan to visit Madrid.
