A great apartment at a SUPERB location! Being located on a quiet street, in one minute’s walk or less in one direction, you’re at Hortaleza and to the other, at Fuencarral, both lined with restaurants, markets and stores I all like! Eduardo waited for me at the door of the building entrance to take me in for the check-in and was even kind to offer me a wonderful long list of restaurant recommendations and other things he recommended for visitors in the city (though this was my third time in the city one year, it was still very much appreciated!).
The apartment is very clean and was equipped with almost everything you need. I loved how the bedroom and living area were separate (even though they were open space concept) and both areas each had their own TVs. :) There is a huge closet space with so many wide and large drawers - incredibly huge space - which is a girl’s dream come true. :) The bathroom has large counter space, the shower worked beautifully and I also liked the heated drying rack for your (wet / damp) towel. While there were no paper towels in the kitchen, it was fine with me since I always grabbed extra napkins from cafes and eateries around. There is a Carrefour Express grocery store located 20-30 seconds away from the apartment that you can go to too. If you run out of anything the apartment provided (i.e., shampoo, conditioner, body wash gel, toilet paper, kitchen cleaning products, etc), then the Minty Host office would provide them to you for free but you need to go and pick them up yourself at the office located just between Sol and Tirso de Molina.
My only small complaint would be the enormous amount of noise and loud music the unit to the right of the apartment made (you can even hear them singing along haha), usually starting around 11am onwards. Thankfully they weren’t loud during hours most people would be sleeping at night but if you needed a nap in the daytime, then you might or might not be lucky to be caught with the noise. Otherwise they were fine.
I had a wonderful stay here and though I was sick in bed with the fever for the first few days, I was fortunately able to sleep well with their comfortable bed and this cozy, spacious apartment. Thank you so much for making my stay wonderful! Minty Host answered all my questions promptly and were super friendly and kind as well! :)
