Felix’s apartment was a pleasure to stay in. We are so thankful that we were able to come back to his place after a long day of exploring. The apartment was exactly as pictured and met all of our needs. Both bedrooms were spacious and had lovely French doors that opened up to balconies which allowed for a lot of natural life in each room. However, you could close them at night if wanting more darkness to sleep. And surprisingly, they greatly reduced the street noise outside to a minimum making it easy to fall asleep and stay asleep through out the night. One of the bedrooms has and en-suite bathroom and there is a second bathroom off the hall. Both are clean and have large enclosed showers that are new and modern setting Felix’s apartment apart from others. The living room has a cozy couch with blankets and chairs that are set up perfectly to relax and watch a movie on the large smart TV. And the bonus is that there are large French doors that open up off the living room to a balcony that can open to enjoy fresh air or to increase natural light in the room. The views from the balcony are spectacular. The kitchen is opened up to the living room creating an open floor plan concept and is equipped with everything you would need to make breakfast or any other meal throughout your stay.
One of the best features was that If you book with Alex, you will then interact with Minty Stay. Minty Stay manages the property and helps with the check-in process. Their customer service relations are excellent and make it a priority to ensure that you have a smooth check-in and a wonderful stay throughout your time there. If there is a glitch they are great problem solvers and work hard to remedy any situation so that you are ready to have the best stay possible. We found that Ignacio was such a valuable resource for us with a wealth of knowledge regarding the city. He and his team helped us from suggesting transfers (Civitas) to and from the airport to specific restaurants that met our vegetarian requirements and tours that he thought we might enjoy and we did. We ate at some very tasty and unique places that we would revisit the next time we stay again. We greatly appreciated his assistance as needed.
My last comment is that the location in Sol/Central was perfect. Initially, when we booked we were not sure if we would like it because we tend to be on the quiet side of life and prefer neighborhoods that fit that characteristic. Our impression was that the apartment was in a busy walking shopping area and it is. But we loved the location. And what we loved was that this location opened up to so many different options and different worlds for us to explore in because you can easily walk to so many other neighborhoods from where the apartment is located. We had friends that stayed in a different area and we observed that it was so much easier for us in our location than for them because all of the neighborhoods were all more or less the same distance from where we stayed because we were in the “Center” of the city. We loved that! And we loved to walk and use the wonderful subway system as well. But you can also easily catch a taxi off any car service like Free Now or Civitas.
We would love to come back to Madrid. It’s a magical city and we also hope to stay at Felix’s apartment again and interact with Ignacio as it was absolutely perfect. Thank you Felix and Ignacio for ensuring our stay was perfect! It was wonderful to travel again after staying home over the last two years due to the pandemic.
