I cannot say enough nice things about my experience with the hosts and this beautiful penthouse. I have friends in Madrid and I chose this place based on what all my local friends told me was a supreme location, but I was blown away by the accommodating nature of the hosts and the overall style, design and high-end feel of the house.

In terms of location, my local Madrid friends were absolutely right! Pretty much anything you could want to visit is a short walk away. If you prefer not to walk you can take the metro as the station is right there (but frankly you are never more than a $5 cab ride from anything so you aren't saving much money with the metro).

The house was IMPECCABLE with a fresh, modern feel. The terrace was huge and with all the plants felt absolutely magical. The bed was incredibly comfortable with high-end linens and the hosts were incredibly gracious. They left me with a very well-stocked kitchen: drinks, spices, rices pasta, ice, tea, coffe, even fresh ginger, onion and garlic!

I had one issue where I asked if they had a hair dryer ( I am a picky girl, afterall!)... They didn't have one but I told them it was no big deal/not to worry. Imagine my surprise when they went out and got me one!

I am recommending this place to all my friends visiting Madrid and will cone back again and again. You can not beat the location + terrace + high-end design +accommodating hosts + impeccable cleanliness. Five stars is just not enough.
