Lluvia’s flat in Chueca is in a perfect location for first time travelers to Madrid and is also what you’re looking for if you know the city well. Chueca has plenty of patios for drinks and tapeo, pedestrian areas with shopping, and is walking distance to Gran Vía and puerta del Sol. For those willing to walk a little farther, in the other direction are the must-see museums along the paseo Del Prado.
Lluvia and Kevin are an Airbnb dream team, verdaderos miembros del Parnaso de la hospitalidad. Kevin gave us a ride from the airport and was helpful throughout our trip. He’s awesome. I’m pretty familiar with Madrid, but it was great to have hosts that were just the epitome of kindness and helpfulness. I honestly can’t imagine anyone leaving a negative review for this location. And the effective communication of the hosts makes it so you have an open line of communication if anything comes up.
The flat is accurately described. Personally, I love flats in Madrid with wooden beams lining the angled ceiling, which is what initially caught my eye in the photos. There are two beds, which sets it apart for flats in this nightly rate. In the space, the design is a fun and eclectic mix of modern European fixtures with traditional elements y un toque de la estética industrial. It’s on the top floor of the building without an elevator, which is common in Madrid, but I mention it for anyone with that expectation that notices it here but not in the details of the listing.
If you are trying to pick between different flats available for your dates, pick this one.
