Highly recommend this apartment! We had outstanding communication from Miguel, who graciously arranged an early check-in time - really wonderful, since we had a morning arrival from the States. The apartment is as pictured and feels like a warm, welcoming home, not off-the shelf IKEA apartment like so many. The decor is charming and personal, reflecting Miguel's interest in travel and people. (And that couch is super comfortable!) There is a good shower with nice water pressure. Also, something important to me and not always found in Spain: comfortable bed pillows. Milk, bread, coffee and other essentials were provided - such a nice touch!

The location is very convenient - steps away from the San Anton market, walking distance to many sights, and if you don't feel like walking, the Chueca metro stop is right outside the door. Chueca Plaza itself is very lively (might be an issue for light sleepers, but was not a problem for us - also, Miguel thoughtfully provides earplugs for those who might need them). Beyond the market (which has a rooftop restaurant as well as places to sit and eat inside), Chueca Plaza itself has many great spots: we enjoyed Cafe Verdoy greatly at all hours of the day and night (delightful staff, good food), there is a nice ice cream shop in the Plaza (it was HOT when we were there!), and on the north side of the Plaza is an iconic Taberna (Angel Sierra) well worth visiting for a vermouth! There is also a lovely bakery across from the Carrefour Express (grocery store) just off the north side of the Plaza.

We very much enjoyed our stay!
