My wife and I started our trip through Spain at the end of December in Madrid and our experience at Gorete's place was AMAZING! First, when we established communication with Gorete, it was like talking to family. She was so nice, friendly and helpful that it felt like talking to a friend or a family member! Second, she had someone meet us at the apartment and explain the features of the apartment and give us recommendations of stores and restaurants around the area. That was super helpful! Third, the APARTMENT! wow! It's beautifully decorated, very cozy and comfortable, and with a full kitchen. We even bought breakfast items to eat them in the apartment and enjoy the living room and the balcony! Fourth, location! This apartment is super central to everything in Madrid. We were able to walk to many of the locations we wanted to visit and if not, we had the train station 5 minutes away. However, the apartment is located in a super charming part of town with awesome restaurants and shops. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it more. Fifth, Gorete welcomed us with local snacks and a bottle of wine. I HIGHLY recommend this apartment if you are visiting Madrid!
