Cristina’s apartment was SUPERB for our week stay.
Other reviews were so true and on those recommendations I contacted her. We were unsure whether to travel during this bizarre pandemic but excellent immediate contact and continued messages from her we decided to get flights.
The apartment is wonderfully quirky with a cosy comfortable feel and we spent 2 whole days of a week just reading, relaxing and eating - perfect.
The Terrace is nice for breakfast or evening sundowners - sadly the plants have been neglected throughout the pandemic I guess and suffered. There are terrific views both day and night.
The TV has a wonderful classical music station which adds to the chilling.
The flicker is by the very comfortable couch.
The kitchen is easy to use and wonderful cheerful crockery . Could do with 1/2 more pans. A huge fridge freezer.
The bathroom is airy ,comfortable clean and lots of hot water . Quirky too. Always something to catch your eye.
A handy lift as it’s 18 flights of stairs up !
The AC works well for those mid summer months and the apartment is cool in the day & nice and warm in the evening.
Get a €30 cab from the airport- The Metro requires 3 night mare changes and not much saving.
It’s about 40-60 minutes walk to most things around the city and a €7-9 back
Try Salamanca to go upmarket.. and NHCollection Hotel Gran Via for a Terrace drink - not SKY 44.
Enjoy!
