My first city break with my son (11) couldn't have got off to a better start thanks to Sol's warm welcome at her apartment. Despite the fact it was fairly late and she had a long way to get home to her young family, she was very generous with her time and once she started to give us recommendations as to where to eat, visit etc, she couldn't stop!
Her enthusiasm for Madrid was justified as we also loved the city. Sol's apartment was ideally placed for us to explore some of the major sites, and as Sol suggested, for us to "just get lost".
As others have mentioned, the apartment is on the fourth floor, but the view from the tiny balcony alone was worth it!
As well as being in a great position, Sol's apartment was clean, cosy and had everything we needed for our short stay. My one gripe would be the tiny shower, which tended to flood, but it certainly wasn't enough of a problem for us to worry about or in any way spoil our stay.
Thank you, Sol!
