This place is my fantasy home. It is rustic, beautiful and an authentically restored home in an historic district in the centre of Madrid. Yes, the stairs are hard work but think of the exercise and calories burned after all that fabulous jamn and cheese and wine that you will no doubt be consuming. It is a great central spot to be based for exploring the neighbourhood surrounds. The manager Anouk, her trusty counterpart Carlos and even the owner Gustavo, who we were fortunate enough to meet and hear about his restorations, were incredibly friendly and helpful to the extent that we felt treated like old friends and were treated accordingly. Nothing was too much to ask, and believe me, we did ask for a lot of help. Our check-in was seamless, and Anouk replied to all emails immediately. The place was immaculately clean, had air con, a washing machine (thank goodness) and the w-fii worked well through out the home, including the terrace (which was also a wondereful spot to enjoy in the early evening). If we return to Madrid there is no doubt i will be staying here. Definitely....
