This is a FANTASTIC apartment that I feel has not been described well enough in the other reviews. First and foremost, the location!! Not only is this apartment in a good location near tapas bars and restaurants, it is THE place to be for restaurants and tapas, called La Latina. It is the best and most popular place in Madrid to experience true Spanish style food and drinks. Not only are we in the area, the apartment is right in the middle of the best street for these bars, Calle Cava Baja. You literally walk right into the hustle and bustle of it all. Also, we did not need to use the metro at all, as you can see all the main attractions of Madrid by foot, all within 20-30 min walk from the apartment. The perfect place to be!
In addition to the location, Lina communicated with us very well. She contacted me 1 week as well as a few days prior to checking in, she was very prompt at check in time, and took the time to explain the apartment and the location to me. The apartment was already well equipped with maps, tourism books, and a bottle of Spanish wine waiting for us! As well as a very cute blackboard sign welcoming us, contact details for Lina and taxi company, the wifi password, and emergency services! So much attention to detail!! After check in, Lina was available to contact by phone/text/whatsapp, and she checked in on us via text to make sure we were doing well and if there was anything she could do for us.
In terms of the apartment, it was spotless, very clean. The apartment consists of a bedroom with a double bed and a open living room/kitchen with a pull out couch, also double bed in size. We were 3 girls, and the apartment was the perfect size.
Overall, I would definitely recommend, and would stay here again if we return to Madrid.
