My wife and I recently had the great pleasure of staying in this extraordinary apartment. It’s a one-bedroom, beautifully-renovated space in a perfect downtown location, minutes walk from many of the key attractions in Madrid: the Royal Palace and Gardens, Temple of Debod, San Miguel Market (Mercado), various museums, and shopping. Within a ten minute walk are a wide variety of restaurants, including some of the best tapas restaurants in Madrid. There are also several subway stops nearby.
Across the street is a luxury boutique hotel, and directly outside the apartment is are two cafes, one with outdoor seating. It’s important to note that despite the activity just one flight down at street level, when the windows are closed one hears no noise from the activity below! A happy surprise.
The apartment is fully modernized, with a large bathroom and spacious walk-in shower with large overhead rain showerhead, water jets in the wall, and separate hand shower, as well as large fluffy towels - an oasis after a day of sight-seeing!
The decoration throughout is very tastefully done, resulting in an ideal mixture of comfort, luxury and utility. The bedroom has glass walls to add a sense of spaciousness to the apartment, with power shades when privacy is needed. The bed is king-size with a very comfortable mattress, soft covers and a selection of pillows. The TV and sound system are top-rate, and provide access to a wide variety of entertainment (including Netflix and Moviestar).
The kitchen has all modern appliances, and the utensils, glasses and flatware are all fine quality. Embedded beneath a spacious kitchen counter are a dishwasher and combination clothes washer and dryer, which we confirmed works very effectively.
But best of all are the hosts, Marissa and Manuel, who greeted us upon our arrival, presented a large basket of biscuits, vegetables, chocolates, coffee/tea, marmalades bread and wine (a Ribera). They were always readily available to answer an inquiry, and provided much helpful information about Madrid. It was a real pleasure to meet them!
Overall, a very luxurious experience that made us feel we were in an exclusive 5-star hotel. This will certainly be our preferred location for any future visits to Madrid
