Welcomed by Susana's husband David (and with a bottle of wine and a bottle of sangria waiting for us in the kitchen too - thank you!), we had a great time in this attic flat. It really is ideally situated, in the pretty older part of Madrid and "right in the middle of things" between Plaza Mayor and the museums (with Plaza de la Cibeles, where the Express Airport Bus also stops, about 15 mins' walk away), yet it's unbelievably quiet - just perfect. There's even a useful little grocer's in the same street as well as a couple of restaurants/bars (and a wonderful flamenco venue) and David gave us tips for other restaurants and shops, and for things to see and do in general. The flat is cosy, artistically decorated and certainly fits the description, the lovely terrace an added bonus. We would thoroughly recommend staying here.
