We arrived in the morning and were met by Becky (and Sebastian, just the cutest 2-month old imaginable!) who showed us around and explained things perfectly. The apartment is, in a word, awesome. If you're into smart, contemporary design, you could not do better! Large Open Living area, large dining area with table seating for 8 - 10, two large bedrooms - exactly as pictured and described! There were beer and soft drinks in the fridge which is always such a welcoming gesture. Fully equipped modern kitchen with all necessary glassware and tableware and cookware.

And the neighborhood - best possible location, on a small street running parallel to Gran Via, in the heart of Madrid nightlife- all bars, restaurants, tapas places, of all prices, and types are right around the next corner. We hit 5 different tapas bars in one night (each one amazing but different in style - modern, young and hip, traditional, vermut) and were never further than a 5 minute walk from Susana's place.

The location is also just a short walk to all the museums and old Madrid (Sol, P. Mayor etc.) and yet it felt like living in a real neighborhood of Madrilenos and Madrilenas!

The sofa is beyond comfortable and cushy, and the armchair is the perfect size, with its perfectly matched side table at the ideal height and the perfect footrest/ottoman in front - the thought that went into this apartment's decor is professional and unmatched.

The quality is everywhere throughout, and it's a tremendous value. I'd want to live at Susana's apartment if I could ever get it together to move to Madrid.

I would definitely recommend staying at Susana's place next time you're in Madrid and i can't imagine staying anyplace else next time I'm there! Muchas Gracias Susana!
