Location, Location, Location!
From the first time we contacted Marta she was extremely helpful and very prompt with all her emails.
Marta and her husband greeted us personally which was a lovely touch.
The apartment was better than we expected as we didn't think it would be as big as the pictures made it look…but it was very spacious for an inner city apartment.
Great wifi and air conditioning in the lounge/kitchen area.
The location is the key factor for this apartment - so close to the action! 10 metres from where the Sunday market El Rastro is located, 5 minutes walk to one of the best tapas areas, 10 minutes walk to Plaza Major and so on. There is a taxi rank a few minutes away as well as a metro stop.
We had our car which we didn't need to use while in Madrid so Marta and her husband suggested a car park 15 minutes away that made it very cost effective for our 6 night stay. It was not hard to find and we were glad that we made the effort (we were able to drop our luggage off at the apartment before we parked the car).
There is a washing machine and an area for drying clothes which is great when you are away from home for an extended period.
Both Marta and her husband made several great recommendations for us to make sure that we had the best stay possible.
We would thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone considering staying in Madrid and wanting a great location and comfort (with everything you could need) and we are looking forward to staying again!
