Gala's place is absolutely fantastic! Gala was extremely hospitable & quick to reply to any questions that I had. Like other reviewers have said, you really can't beat the exceptional location - just a stones throw from restaurants, bars & all of the major sights in Madrid. The apartment is equipped with all of the amenities you would need to have a home way from home – Gala even provided complimentary coffee pods for the machine. As others have noted, the apartment is on the top floor & there is no elevator. It wasn't a problem for me, but something to note if you travel with lots of luggage or have an injury/disablity. All in all I had an absolutely perfect stay & would highly recommend Gala's place to anyone visiting Madrid! I hope to come back again soon. Muchas gracias Gala!
