First off, Alessandra is the most welcoming, kind, and genuinely helpful person anyone could ask for! She went out of her way to make sure I understood the neighborhood, made excellent suggestions for my short stay, and even helped me haul my pack up the steps!
Secondly, the room is darling! The whole apartment has this old-world feel that is charming, but there are incredible personal touches she's added to the room to make it so welcoming. I appreciated that she had guide books in the room, and that I had space for my clothes, and a great bathroom, and even a sitting area just for me. It's clear that Alessandra takes pride in her accommodations, and for this weary traveler after two weeks in Europe, it was just what I needed!
Third, the location cannot be beat! It's right off the Gran Via metro, which is in the center of the city and is an intersection for two lines. I had one day to 'see it all' and this was the best location a girl could ask for! I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting the best of Madrid!
