Irene's apartment was fantastic! Exactly like the pictures; spacious, renovated and very clean! The water in the shower was hot & also great water pressure. Irene's additional comforts - coffee machine / washer / iron / hair dryer & essentials, were all excellent and made you feel like you were at home. It was a climb up stairs (we would not recommend anyone with a pram), but the attic-style apartment was very quiet, lots of light and you felt like a real local living in Madrid. Finally, the location was excellent! Walking distance to any major attraction, restaurants and bars - additionally, there was a locker storage around the corner and a printing store on Calle Toledo, which was handy for us to store our bags during the day and print our train tickets. We would definitely stay there again and definitely recommend Irene's place to anyone travelling to Madrid.
