Staying a month in Nikohl's terrific little apartment was just the perfect way to get to know a bit about the fabulous city of Madrid.
Ideally located just up the hill from the Reina Sofia museum and close to two different metro station lines we felt we were right in the heart of the action.
The area is the perfect mixture of modern, eclectic and funky Madrid!
Nikohl is a superhost on Airbnb in more ways than one and deservedly so, she arranged to meet us at our convenience and helped us find our way from the Atocha train station. Arriving on an unexpectedly hot afternoon Nikohl went out of her way to supply a modern Dyson fan to cool us down, something we really appreciated, the unit was beautifully clean and Nikohl had also supplied some very welcomed drinks and small grocery items all the things you appreciate after landing in a new city.
The unit has everything you need for either a short stay or a more prolonged visit to Madrid and surrounding areas. A modern kitchen with oven, microwave, electric hotplates, dishwasher and washer/dryer for your laundry.
Nikohl has even supplied an Apple TV unit which we very much appreciated, hooking up and using our Netflix account. Another bonus for us is the two sets of keys meaning we could each go out independent of each other and return without needing to worry about access.
It's a great unit for a morning sleep in after one of those long late Spanish evenings, the front street windows have security shutters that come down to darken the rooms off.
The Murphy bed took a little getting used to although the beauty of this type of bed is that it could be closed if you felt you would like more space during the daytime.
All in all a great little apartment in an "Artsy Fartsy" part of Madrid.
