Luis’s place could not be in a better location. We were completely spoilt when it came to local bars and restaurants and everything else we could want was a 20 minute walk away (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, El Retiro Park, Mercado De San Miguel etc.)
The apartment is stylish and simple with an insanely comfortable bed and a beautiful bathroom. The aircon keeps it nice and cool in the 38 degree July heat. The building is old and has great character and the lift is a real bonus when you’ve been walking around all day.
Of course, there is noise, as others have mentioned. But it’s a very small price to pay when you’re in a prime location like Chueca.
Ear buds recommended, even if you’re staying out too - the bin men come early!
I’d recommend Luis’s place to friends and would absolutely stay here again.
Chueca in particular is a really diverse area and is super gay-friendly. 👍🏼
