After months of careful searching, we were so lucky to find Tanya's place! A quiet place on a back, secluded street made sleeping easy. A market around the corner had everything, and the kitchen had stove, microwave, nespresso maker and made preparing breakfasts a breeze.
Two full bathrooms with great showers gave everyone some privacy. Plenty of hot water and great water pressure.
Individual heating/AC units in each room made it comfortable. We used them at night and early morning to take the chill off, and I imagine this would be a gift in the summer!
Fun to look out on balconies, see a cat sleeping in a windowsill, hear the church bells... Little unexpected charming moments that show how local Madridians live and made us feel like locals for a short while.
We were steps away from great restaurants, tapas, shops, and Plaza Mayor. I think La Latina station was close, but we walked everywhere. We could also find a cab at any time of day or night within seconds to take us to the airport, Charmatin, and Atocha for day trips.
Check in was easy, and Tanya and her local host were communicative and responsive.
I will make it a priority to return!
