This is in a great location right near Retiro park and many great bars and restaurants. Take note that the area is probably one of the most expensive areas to eat out in Madrid but it’s really very good quality. The actual room is very small and I couldn’t actually close the door to the bathroom so I was glad I was there on my own. I think the space is too small for two people in my opinion. There isn’t really anywhere to put your luggage, I had to put my suitcase on the table. There are about 6 separate studios within the same apartment. The walls are thin so although the other guests weren’t causing too much noise, you could hear everything - walking down corridor, unlocking and locking doors, bathroom and bedroom antics. I didn’t meet Alain but I met Miguel and he was lovely and very responsive on text. I asked Alain if I could stay 30 mins after check out time and wasn’t granted that request. All in all a good experience though and would recommend if not staying longer than 5 days
