A fantastic location, in the heart of a bustling local area; close to restaurants, bars, markets and more. Only a short walk to the Prado museum and the Reina Sophia museum. The apartment is very homely, with lots of character and charm. It's a 'lived in' apartment so there is everything you need to feel at home - plenty of utensils in the kitchen, and there was also detergent there for washing clothes. The sofa bed is comfortable, and the shower is also great. It's a great apartment for people watching from the Juliet balcony, lovely plants and interesting artwork. Aurelia is a great host who provided us with tips for places to eat, and also ensured we knew how to get to the apartment and left us with a bottle of red wine (it was lovely wine!) Only issue was the flat is on the 3rd floor so there are quite a few stairs; okay for me but less convenient for my parents when carrying luggage. It's also a little hilly in this part of Madrid, so it's a steep short walk from apartment to the metro station (again fine for me, but maybe not for people who have any walking issues). In general this place is absolutely lovely, great value for money, super hosts, and we'd come back again : )
