I can't speak more highly of both the apartment and the host David Y Luis
The pre-communuication was terrific and when we arrived we were met by David who was very helpful explaining all the ins and outs of the place.
The apartment is absolutely as described. It's in a great central location which provides a base for any Madrid based activity.
The vibe if the area is youth fashion - and there are more characters on the street than a million typewriters.
The apartment is not facing the street so you get some respite from the noise and bustle of the buzz below. It is a bit of an up and down stairs and corridors to get to the actual apartment - but you get used to finding it :-).
Inside its stunning. Beautifully appointed with all modern inclusions. Great air con and solid wifi.
This isn't a place for backpackers or "don't care" travelers ... It's a place for people that appreciate affordable quality and respect a home like their own.
Highly recommended
