Meyling couldn't have been more helpful, she gave information proactively and even gave some local recommendations. We only tried one place, La bicicleta, but it was a super recommendation.

The neighbourhood is very very central: a one minute walk to Gran Via and easily walkable to most other areas. We read an article before we went that the street the apartment on is 'to be avoided by woman' and I have to say that the article couldn't be more incorrect. There was always people around (including school trips) and we never experienced any problems at all.

The pictures hardly do the apartment justice, the finishing touches are beautiful and it's always nice to have a balcony too. There are plenty of fresh towels and bedding should you have a longer stay than we did. The bathroom does have a frosted wall between the bedroom but you can't see anything at all through it so I wouldn't allow this to affect your choice in this wonderful apartment at all.

If I go back to Madrid I'll certainly book here again.
