What can I say? If you like loft living, this is the place for you.
Amazing space, huge, yet with a very homely feel.
Conveniently located opposite Atocha, very close to the Retiro and within quick walk to Centro, location is great. However when you arrive you probably won't want to go anywhere, Alvaro's place is a sanctuary!
Everything you could want is provided, all mod cons plus more....on a large scale. From every kitchen appliance you could want (how many places have a coffee machine with a milk frother) to international cable tv, Bluetooth hifi and more.
Master bed is huge & very comfortable (I didn't test the upper room), linen & towels high quality.
Whole space is tastefully furnished, Alvaro must have a creative background.
Kitchen, dining, lounging, work, bathroom, sleeping areas are open plan yet in a space so large they have natural separation. Upper 2nd bedroom is glazed for further privacy if required.
Then there is the garden. Ok, it doesn't get sun all day, but I can only describe as an enclave of tranquility.
Alvaro is the perfect host, attentive to any needs and a mind of information.
If you like small and cozy don't stay here, if you like open space you won't find anything better.
5* all the way, I would buy this place if I could!
