This apartment has everything you could want in a short-term rental. The rooms are spacious and furnished nicely with basic but comfortable furniture. There is plenty of closet, drawer and shelf space to spread out while keeping your possessions organized. The kitchen is well-equipped, having all basic implements for food preparation as well as a dishwasher and washing machine. The hosts kindly provide towels along with plenty of paper, shampoo, bath gel and hand soap. Although the front of the building opens onto a lively street filled with shops and shoppers, the apartment itself is quiet and free of street noise, with windows overlooking the quieter cross street. Ricardo was gracious and helpful, meeting us at the apartment, orienting us and providing recommendations for local restaurants. We were particularly pleased that Ricardo checked in on us several times during our six-day stay. Our stay here enhanced our trip to Madrid enormously, and is the best AirBnB experience we have had. We look forward to returning.
