Jesús’ apartment was perfect and as other reviews say Jesus has thought of everything. We arrived very late but Jesus came to meet us and the fact he had left milk, bread, butter etc was great.
At first glance you may think Lavapies is not a safe area but it in reality it is not like that at all. In fact it is buzzing and the main plaza, Lavapies metro, Carrefour and taxi rank are a few minutes walk away and we always felt very safe and like we were living like a real Madrileño.
All the main sights are within walking distance or easily accessed by metro so we loved the location.
The apartment was extremely clean with everything we needed and was very quiet. The outside patio is nice for a drink and the bathroom was lovely. The bedrooms are small but comfy beds with good heating/air con.
Jesus is a very attentive host without being intrusive - communication with him was 5* also.
If you are on a budget and want a great apartment in the heart of Madrid this is the perfect choice and we would certainly return.
