All I can say is WOW! This was by far the BEST Airbnb I have ever stayed at- look no further for a place to stay in Madrid. Sandra'a apartment is located in the Lavapies district of Madrid, which is clean, charming, safe, and right next to the two best museums in Madrid, el Prado and la Reina Sofia as well as the Retiro Park. It was walking distance to literally everything of interest in Madrid, and the only time we needed subway tickets was to get to the Real Madrid stadium on the complete other side of town. Sandra's apartment was absolutely spotless and very well decorated (she's either an interior designer herself or hired someone to design the place). Not only was it well decorated, but it had everything that we could ever need during our stay (way beyond the essentials like utensils, irons, towels, etc.), including lots of smaller things (tape, batteries, detergent, tampons, etc.) that I didn't even think I would need while away. If the sparkling clean, comfortable, and well located apartment isn't enough to get you to book this Airbnb, then let it be Sandra. She was an above and beyond host who made us feel like longtime friends. She was super flexible with check-in/out times, and on arrival, she chatted with us for ~20 min to go over the map of Madrid, highlighting points of interest, giving us tips for reduced fee/free entry to lots of attractions, and recommending restaurants that were all delicious. She was accessible the entire time, responding to messages within a brief few minutes and worked at a shop right next door to the apartment where she was always happy to help. I wish I could live in this apartment full time, and I cannot recommend a stay to anyone enough!
