Astrid's place was a great get-away in Madrid. Communication was clear and I was able to access the apartment earlier than expected. The apartment is close to shopping, good cafes/restaurants, and sight-seeing spots. Although in the center of everything, the apartment was very quiet and peaceful. The only only loud noise was the neighbor entering and exiting their apartment (the doors are heavy and make noise when opening and closing).
The apartment was very modern and clean and the heating/cooling unit in the apartment works very well which came in handy on a day with temperamental weather. Great spot to stay in Madrid.
