We just loved Paolo's apartment!
It's not very big, but it had all that we needed. The apartment is very charming, and creative solutions make it quite functional as well.
A few steps up from the kitchen/bedroom there is a wonderful roof terrace with a great view … perfect for breakfast or a quiet late night drink under the Madrid moon!
The location is excellent, within walking distance from the main attractions in central Madrid. Lots of nice restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood, but beware: there are some overpriced tourist traps as well. There is some noise from the local restaurants at night, but after closing the door to the roof terrace, we were not disturbed by it.
Paolo is the chef of the Rhino Wild bar & bistro - a small, but tasteful place about 20 minutes' walk north of the apartment. We went there to meet him, and he turned out to be a really nice guy … and the food that he served us was delicious!
