For two American 30-something ladies' first time in Madrid this was a great stay and I would book again for comfort, space, location and value. It is much more open, bright and comfortably-modern than some of the comparable properties.
Uber drop-off/pick-up right to the doorstep. Clean and spacious flat. Well stocked kitchen. Light and airy with a lovely view of Plaza Pedro Zerolo. Comfortable beds. A great bathtub for soaking. Excellent location - walking distance to everything (and a Starbucks directly across the plaza).
Just be prepared for noisy weekend evenings as this plaza is a hoppin' spot for nightclub and bar-goers +trash pickup, but if you don't mind the festive city vibes/noises and want to be directly in the mix of things, it's a perfect spot.
And, I have to say that, even though there are a lot of people out on the street / in the plaza, drinking until the late/early morning hours, my girl friend and I always felt very safe coming and going at any time of evening because there are always people on the street and it's well lit (plus there is a gay nightclub below the flat - which means as a straight girl, no one is going to be harassing you as you come and go :)
Manuel was communicative, helpful and very friendly.
TIP: Make sure to have Manuel show you how to use the key for entering THE BUILDING and the key for entering THE FLAT. Having him demonstrate was very helpful, especially because the key can stick a little bit at times and might cause you to doubt, if you didn't have the confidence of the tutorial.
Looking forward to our next trip!
