Great location and comfortable place for a family to enjoy Madrid.
location is king for making or breaking your vacation, especially a short one of 3 nights like ours. We started our Spanish holiday from Madrid and what a great 4 days we had. All the major attractions of Madrid are minutes away. Sightseeing, shopping, eating, metro stations, everything is around you. Its a 20 minute drive from the airport and a 10 minutes from the main railway station. Its a great upmarket area just off Gran Via.
The centrally air conditioned 3 -bed apartment has proper bedrooms with a good sized living room and a well stocked kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Very comfortable for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. Infact its good for a family of 6 too. Good views from the rooms and balconies to relax in good weather. Being on the 7th floor insulates you from the street noise below which is always busy till late.
As for the hosts Anabelle and her husband, they are indeed super hosts. The apartment was clean and tidy when handed over. Knowing we had kids with us, They ensured that the kitchen was well stocked with bread, milk, marmalades, muffins etc which was a great touch. Even the bathrooms had everything from shower gels to perfumes, freshners, shave foam. They even have a stroller for us to use! Also eager to help with their suggestions on eating and shopping as well as sightseeing in Madrid - here is a couple who love what they do. We found no negatives at all.
This was our first experience with AirBNB and it was a beautiful one. Do consider this place for your trip to Madrid. You will not be disappointed for sure.
