Not only is this apartment absoutely wonderful, you also get to deal with a gracious host!

The apartment is in contrast to the convent exterior - it is a minimalistic space but maximises on comfort. Everything is in the details, from the heated/cooled floor to the proportions of the couch and the shape and size of the table. Over and above the well executed design, the apartment has a wonderful selection of music and Gabriel's photography takes the aesthetics to the next level.

Gabriel is an extremely considerate host - the fruit/milk/bread in the house are really helpful and ofcourse a meeting with a true resident of Madrid will set any newcomer on the right road to discovering Madrid.

On the whole we really enjoyed the apartment and the area we were in. It really added to our experience of the city with an unexpected element of something much more than a comfortable place to stay.
