The hosts' friend welcomed us with open arms. He gave as a vivd tour of the apartment, informed us of every detail that needed to be known, suggested restaurants and gave us a map of the city. The apartment entirely met our expectations. It was charming and cozy and the cherry on top: two adorable cats kept our company for the length of our stay. The location was ideal. Walking distance from metro, great restaurants and the huge shopping street, Gran Via. We couldn't have wished for a better place to stay!
