I am beyond thankful for my good luck in finding Alvaro and this gorgeous apartment. He has the eyes of an artist. This is evidenced in the quality and placement of every piece of furniture and every item set into this delightful, cheery, luminous loft. It is a happy place, a place you want to come home to, because of the passion and care taken by the owner and because the space radiates the kindness and good-spirited personality of the owner.
I had four incredibly quiet nights' sleep despite the busy location in the heart of the vibrant old town neighborhood, Malasana. The apartment is close to sights, metros, nightlife, shops, groceries, everything.
Traveling as a single woman, I was safe walking around the neighborhood at night and to the apartment. The refrigerator was stocked high with wonderful treats.
Upon arrival, Alvaro assisted me in understanding the sights, locations and what not to miss. He knows and loves his great city, Madrid; he has a great sense of humor, and is a very good person. I won't forget Alvaro and this wonderful space he has created.
Remember - no lift but generous stairs, a gorgeously fitted, interesting wet bath, and so many extras.
