Sensational apartment!!!! Absolutely in the heart of the action, yet off a side street that was relatively quiet and provided a relaxing aspect from the balcony for those "glass of wine" post-afternoon siesta moments. Kristian was so very personable and professional and provided so many tips i.e. best places to eat for value for money. The Vulcan Tapas bar just around the corner is gorgeous and very quickly became our local. Madrid is everything one expects ... a vibrant city. And the Spaniards, well they love their art, are highly political, eat and drink well, work very hard and play just as hard. They are a stoic, proud people. And we have felt very safe and welcomed in their capital ... staying at this apartment was the icing on the cake!
