We arrived from Barcelona (RENFE railroad to Atocha) and it was a quick taxi ride to the apt. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and it was a perfect location. Cara responded quickly to any of our needs and the apt was super clean and tidy, with an incredibly comfortable bed/pillows so we slept very well. Many little extras (shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/coffee/tea) helped us to settle in quickly until we could pick up our own items for the fridge (great supermarkets, pharmacies all close by.) The terrace was BEAUTIFUL where we had our daily breakfast or a late night drink. We kept the balcony doors open and enjoyed the cool cross breeze at night and it was all very safe. The lift always worked and getting a taxi morning, noon or night was a breeze regardless of the time. The number of restaurants in the area are countless (seriously, we ate at a new one every day and it was great.) Easy access to all of the museums (Prado, Reina Sofia), Buen Retiro Park, Salamanca, etc. We will definitely return to Cara's place. Loved it.
