This apartment is a perfect hideaway in the middle of the Madrid city center. You can literally walk any where you want to see or go. There are amenities nearby, like supermarkets and metro stations. Even though the apartment is in the middle of the city life, it is still very quiet. The flat is cozy and filled with everything you could possibly think of to make your stay easy and comfortable. The washing machine and kitchen were especially useful for budget traveling. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to climb to get to the flat; however, we didn't mind at all. We like to move and get physically fit. Ruty even offered to carry one of our bags up to the flat upon arrival which was very kind. Ruty is also very happy to communicate and solve any issues. He was quick to respond and quick to attend to our needs. We totally recommend this apartment to anyone! It was a great stay!
