Eli met me at the apartment, carried my bag up the steps (unnecessary, but super sweet), and gave me a tour of the apartment's amenities. She was warm and kind and made me feel at home.

The apartment is LOVELY--and HUGE. Incredibly well appointed and clean. AC was important in the July Madrid heat, and it worked great.

The neighborhood is super hip. A cafe on one end of the block and a bar on the other. Only one or two blocks from the avenue with all the bars and shops.
