We just spent 4 days at Leticia's apartment, and we couldn't have been happier! Leticia is the most organized host we have encountered (see below)
The location - is fantastic! Everything is within easy walking distance - the Plaza Mayor, Mercado San Miguel (touristy, but a good intro) and The Puerta del Sol are all within 5-15 min walk, and for those with a bit more stamina, The Prado, The Thyssen and The Reina Sofia are within a 1.5 mile walk. The Gran Via is also within easy walking distance - if you want to see Modern Madrid.
Despite being so close to so much, the apartment is in a quiet, secluded plaza. Once you start to explore, you will find many small plazas to shop and eat at. La Latina, an area of many food options, including tapas and outdoor dining are less than 10 minutes away.
So, I hope by now you agree with me that the location is fantastic - how's the lodging? The apartment is pin neat and organized,including many (more than usual) basics to make your stay enjoyable. The air conditioning is good, and the lift is fast and clean. Being on the 5th floor is then no problem, and affords even more quiet. (And if you want to do your wash in the modern machine, the clothes lines are ample and pins are provided).
Before our arrival, she was in touch, making sure we were coordinated on arrival times. Also, in advance, she sent us a lot of information on the location, nearby attractions, etc. When we arrived, there was a multi-page binder with helpful tips and restaurant recommendations.
I spent a lot of time on this review because this is a great apartment. It's not large, but 2 bedrooms and a fold out couch give room for 5.
Finally - high speed WI-Fi with dual bands including 5G.
Go with Leticia, you won't go wrong!
