If you are looking to stay in downtown Madrid -within walking distance of all major tourist attractions, museums, shopping, and the highest per capita of restaurants and bars - in a spacious apt with character in a historic building, then this is it. Liron's apt is a big modernized 1BR while retaining the original architectural charm. The building has a heavy front door & a small elevator. The amenities are so modern, you may need to read the manuals to operate the washing machine, heater/aircon, water heater, dishwasher, etc. The kitchen and bathrooms are well equipped with essentials - i.e. cooking oil, spices, laundry detergents, shampoo, conditioners, etc. It definitely felt like a well-loved and cared-for home. The apt was clean and the soundproofing is good enough to sleep through the night. Though I didn't meet Liron, he was proactive & made sure I have everything I need. Special thanks to his friend Roumena who met & checked me in & gave me recommendations.
