The location of this cozy apartment is truly amazing. It’s literally steps away from the Sol metro station, with two sets of windows that look down directly onto the plaza. Moreover, it’s on the corner of the plaza right near arguably the best and most historic pastry shop in Madrid, meaning that rich, chocolate breakfasts are only meters away every morning.
We had a great visit to Madrid and truly enjoyed the location for its convenience and unparalleled people watching. However, we were less impressed with the attention to detail, especially in terms of amenities. After a number of AirBnB stays that very much went the extra mile to make us feel at home away from home, here we felt more as if the amenities often barely cleared the bar.
While we never expect unusual needs to be anticipated, we do usually expect to find, enough toilet paper to get through the stay without buying more at the halfway point, at least a small amount of available laundry detergent, and, for example, a utensil drawer with more than four forks.
Fortunately, the goods outweighed the small inconveniences, and the sunny apartment, air conditioning, and stunning location won the day, especially since we were mainly there to see the city. We’d definitely recommend Javier’s place to anyone wanting the same!
