What an awesome experience! The place was immaculate and, as advertised, newly renovated. Bathroom was spotless. It had the right stuff to keep an active stay in Madrid and nearby areas. The free WiFi was good enough to let us upload our 100s of pics in a few minutes.
Pedro has had very prompt (really prompt) and accurate communication since booking throughout checkout. He emailed us to check if we were needing anything. He also provided great tips about Madrid, Toledo, and, importantly, the quaint and safe Lavapies neighborhood where the apartment is. This bohemian-ish area is only a few blocks from Atocha Station (Madrid's main transportation hub, from where you can easily reach the airport, regular trains to all of Spain, and the fast trains to Barcelona and other big cities in Spain and France). A vibrant mix of apparently old-time residents and new comers. Great, affordable place, located only a few blocks from other and more expensive and "touristy" parts of El Centro. A good restaurant 50 ft away and a good supermarket around the corner if you decide to eat in.
Pedro included nice touches around the apartment too. A book with paintings and drawings by Bob Dylan. Who would have thought?
Excellent experience overall. Highly recommendable. Affordable, at a great location and with outstanding service.
