Maria and Jesus were fantastic hosts and the communication before, during and after our stay was superb. Jesus met us at the apartment as we arrived and gave an introduction to everything in the apartment including presenting us with a bottle of wine! Coffee, tea and other essentials to get us started were in the cupboard. Jesus was so helpful! He even sent us information about the area which helped us to get oriented more quickly. The kitchen was so well thought out, we never lacked for anything to prepare food during our 6 night stay. The bed, pillows, and even the sofa bed were of superior quality and very comfortable. The small cozy patio, although it is in the middle of building, was enjoyable to sit out and have our breakfast. It provides for the natural light that makes the apartment feel part of the outdoors. Very nice! Also great if you want to put the drying rack outside for drying clothes. There is also a heater and AC thermostats easy to use and the work quickly to either heat or cool the apartment. The whole ambiance of the apartment is superb and tastefully decorated. While not huge (no apartments in Madrid and other major cities are huge), and it was well laid out and perfect for me and my husband for a 6 day stay. It would have been fine for even three people or four because of the sofa bed. The bathroom was also modern and shower was great! No issue with running out of hot water. Although coming from California we are always careful about water use and time spent in the shower. Good to conserve no matter where you are in the world. Important to note, this apartment was so quiet and we only occasionally heard another resident going up the stairs. The location is also excellent! We could walk to most places that we were interested in and two metro stops are within 10 minutes. Plenty of places to eat as well. Even the lab where we got our preflight Covid test was only 10 minutes walk. And if need a taxi or Uber, easy to get one and no issue for them to drop you infront of the door of the apartment. Arranged Uber pickup the night before our morning flight and everything went so smooth. This apartment will be where we would stay next time we are in Madrid. We look forward to being greeted by Jesus!
