This is an amazing apartment, and Magui is a fabulous host! The apartment is beautiful and functional—large, very comfortable, filled with art, easy to cook in. It is right around the corner from Plaza Major and an easy walk to many places (Palacio Real de Madrid and gardens, Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid). There is street noise in the living area, but the bedrooms, which are toward the back of the apartment, are very quiet and comfortable for sleeping. It was 100 degrees most of the days we were here, but the apartment stayed cool, even without the air conditioning. Magui was warm, welcoming, and very responsive, and she offered excellent recommendations for stores and restaurants. We recommend this place very highly; can’t imagine finding a more comfortable and convenient place to stay or a better host.
