Lara's place is the place to be in Madrid. I spent 4 days in her apartment and it was just perfect. The communication before my arrival was impeccable and Lara gave me all the details to easily reach her place. Her apartment is located in the heart of the city, in the beautiful La Latina quarter. Right at the doorstep you have dozens of bars and restaurants and although the atmosphere is vibrant, the street is very quiet. La Latina metro station is 2 minutes away, Plaza Mayor just 5 minutes walking and if you are lucky enough to stay over the weekend, on Sunday morning you can walk to the beautiful El Rastro street market which is a couple of blocks away. All the main attractions in the city are easily reachable by walking or within a handful of metro stops. On top of that, nearby you have a couple of banks, a supermarket, a bakery, several shops and everything you really need. The location is so central that makes this place second to none.
The apartment itself is located in a beautiful old building, it is lovely, spacious, extremely clean and super cosy. The room where I stayed had everything I needed, the bed was comfortable, the closet was big enough to keep my clothes and the desk is a huge plus if you like to read, write or place your laptop while you are in the apartment.
Lara is the perfect host, very attentive, ready to give you all the information you need during your stay in Madrid. At Lara's place you feel like home and I would recommend this place to whoever asks me for an advice on which Airbnb to stay in Madrid.
If you read this commentary and you are not sure where to stay in Madrid, just book Lara's place and you'll make the right choice.
