This is a perfectly located apartment in the Barrio Salamanca, cross the street from El Retiro, a short pleasant walk to El Prado and the National Library. It is perfectly communicated through the metro and bus lines, and on Alcalá street, famous for the terrasses and cafés, although not in front of the building. It is a 6th floor with an old elevator. Most days we climbed the stairs but when with bags or groceries we took the lift. The place has the basics although it could use a coffee maker or some other little thing, and is full of light. Through one set of windows you can see the pool of the Windsor Hotel behind which offers a spacious and pleasant view. The other side of the apartment opens to an internal space which does not count as a view. Jelisaveta was an excellent communicator and the exchange of keys was handled by Minty Host, which were amicable, business like and on top of things. Would definitely recommend and return!
