This was an exceptional unit and Daniel was a first class host. His communication from the beginning all the way through the end of our stay was as good as it could possibly be. The appeal of this unit when you walk in is exactly what I was hoping to achieve when I rented it. The exposed timbers and brick walls gave it almost a log cabin feel inside. The location of this unit is in the center of the universe of Madrid. It is a short walk from this location to the center of the city which is a Time Square type environment. Despite this, the street noise was nonexistent. There is a small empanada shop downstairs which is really exceptional and the owner was super nice. There is a convenient store of sorts across the street, which also sells fresh fruits and vegetables along with snacks and cold drinks. If you walk to the top of the hill, you will also find several coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, banks, and drug stores. You are also located halfway between to metro stations.This was truly an ideal rental for us.
