Irene and Ciri's place is one of the BEST places I've stayed in through Airbnb. The photos are 100% accurate... it's a gorgeous, modern, airy apartment. It's within walking distance to Plaza Mayor and very close to a metro station.
Ciri met us when we arrived, and he was so charming/nice. He walked us through the apartment and then made some great food recommendations (Museo del Jamón and Taberna El Sur).
The back apartment is very quiet because it faces the inner "courtyard" (not sure how to describe it...there's no square but it faces other inner windows of neighboring apartments). The front room gets some street noise because the apartment is on the 2nd floor (1st floor in Europe).
Highly recommend this apartment... I definitely would stay here again for my next trip to Madrid! Thank you Irene & Ciri!!
