The correspondence between Fran and myself was perfect. As you can see from the photos, the apartment is a beaut! It is one of our favourite areas of Madrid - a 2 min walk from Sol metro station. There are loads of fabulous little restaurants and bars on the adjoining roads to the apartment - you wouldn't have to leave the street if you didn't want to. The apartment is well equipped and ladies (& men!), let me assure you the hairdryer is fab! We only stayed for 2 nights so ate out the entire time, but the kitchen looked very well equipped and had the bonus of a dishwasher because who wants to be washing up on their holibobs? The ONLY slightly negative thing I can say is that the drains are a bit whiffy in the bathroom, but being an old apartment in the middle of Madrid you kind of expect that and the positive aspects of the apartment and its location far outweigh that! We can't wait to come back! Thanks, Fran! :)
