Paula was very helpful with check in and check out and did everything they could to make my stay enjoyable. The street noise wasn’t much of an issue due to the provided earplugs and it was conveniently located right off of the Calle de Gran Via. See shows, eat high class food, and ship all you want.
The room was tidy and as described in the summary. It was pretty small and isn’t a place to hang out for long periods during the day. Of you just want a place to sleep, this does well.
The apartment has an overwhelming smell of citronella to mask the smoke smell. I don’t know which was worse. However, I could crack the big windows a bit and get some fresher air.
I felt perfectly safe staying there although a few streets off of Gran Via makes for some interesting traffic in the street below. There are three keyed doors beyond the locked street gate. Paula did a great job showing me how to use which key for which door even though my Spanish is severely limited!!
Lastly, I would say there is great convenience in having a bottled water, beers, and wine in the fridge. There are other complimentary snacks that were provided as well as an in room coffee maker, sandwich maker, and hot water kettle. Thank you, Paula, for your hospitality!
