Borja's apartment is beyond perfect. We didn't expect such a modern and stylish space. It's literally a 4 minute walk to the metro and there are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within a block. Shout out to Borja's friend, Ada, who met us at the apartment and showed us around and answered any questions that we had - super friendly!
The space is efficiently laid out and everything was comfortable. The bathroom is the best part of the apartment - the shower being the star. The balcony was great too.
The apartment is located in the Embajadores neighborhood. There are a lot of quaint shops and restaurants and bars around. Also, a performing arts theater is directly across the street of the apartment. We didn't get a chance to check it out, but it looked busy every-time we passed by. A little supermarket below the apartment, "Supermercado Zhou", is a great store to get snacks, treats, and most importantly, a travel adapter! I accidentally left mine at home. The supermarket specializes in Asian groceries as well.
The closest metros are called, "La Latina" and "Tirso de Molina". Head to the "Tirso" metro stop to visit the main museums: Reina Sofia, Prado, and Thyssen.
