I only hesitate to review this superb loft-style apartment lest it become impossible to get a booking. This is one of the best Airbnb rentals I've seen anywhere. Handily placed by the Vergara metro stop you also are just minutes from the Retiro park. It is a stunning apartment whose renovation has been done tastefully and elegantly. The building is an old style Spanish apartment building, including some commercial offices. It's an interior apartment so what it lacks in views it gains in quiet. You are on the busy Calle Alcala (Madrid's longest street) and adjoining up-market Salamanca but come bedtime you easily could be in the quietest of suburbs. Ideal for two - it also would allow you to have friends rouund for drinks and diners. This is NOT a rental where you get 2 towels, 4 plates and the bare minimum. The kitchen is amply equipped with almost everything you might need. The bed linens and towels are hotel quality and fresh. There are 3 distinct sitting areas. An impressive Samsung Smart TV permits an evening in after a day sightseeing. There is a well-equipped en suite shower and loo as well as another loo off the main sitting area. The main area lookks out onto fire escapes so if modesty is a worry wrap a towel round yourself save in the fully enclosed bedroom and en suite area. Very comfortable bed. Really impressive AC. There is a concierge part of the day and then the main doors of the building are closed and need an entry code - so it is a safe building. Superlatives are merited here. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.
