We loved Alfred’s apartment! The photos accurately reflect the space. It was very roomy for the four of us (two parents and two sons aged 20 and 33) and everything was clean, comfortable and fresh. Books abound and made the place really artistic. The beds were very comfortable and the en-suite a real bonus it was so clean and fresh.
The whole space completely met our expectations. And everything was so clean. The terrace was such a wonderful place to really feel a part of Madrid.
Alfred and his army of helpers were very accommodating. We asked for a 2nd set of keys for our 20 yr old son who wanted to do his own thing sometimes and there was no problem getting them from Alfred.
The phone in the apartment allows you to buzz open the front door which is handy to know. We thought it was there to talk to whichever of us was returning later. So each time, someone walked down the stairs to let the other in. Pretty obvious to some but not us until our day of departure. The exercise was good though haha!!
Location is fantastic. It is obvious Alfred cares a lot about looking after his guests and as such we respected and appreciated the big and little touches to his apartment. Don’t forget to water the plants on the terrace. We were so busy enjoying the outdoor space that we didn’t think at all to do that. Unbeknownst to us, it was expected.

If you have had a disappointing experience in the past, as we did in our Chicago accommodation, and you like the photos and the description, I doubt very much that you’ll be disappointed.
