I've spent a lot of time in Madrid, and Chueca - where this airbnb is located - is one of my favorite. Just ten minutes walk to Royal Palace and Puerta del Sol, as well as to Retiro Park, it's a destination in itself with lots of trendy bars and restaurants. The apartment is modern, and the bedroom has those high ceilings that are so useful during hot summer days. And host Victor couldn't have been more welcoming.
