The perfect place to stay if you are attending a conference at the nearby IFEMA. Only 25 minute walk , 15 minute bicycle ride with the free bicycles at the flat, or you can go downstairs to the taxi rank and take a 5 minute 8 euro taxi ride to IFEMA.
Angela and her husband were wonderful hosts. They very generously picked us up from the airport after our long flights from australia to madrid.
As a runner I enjoyed exploring the nearby parklands.
The Carrefour supermaket/department store at the nearby Mar de Cristal metro station was a 20 minute walk away or 10 min bus ride (the T11 runs by every 15min). We went to the city daily to sightsee and it was easy to navigate the metro despite needing to change lines a couple of times.
We loved the architectural design of the flat. It was beautiful with high ceilings, polished concrete surfaces, natural lighting and a big kitchen with many design books to enjoy reading. The warehouse exterior is deceptive.
For a fun lunch try the downstairs asian/spanish all you can eat buffet for 8euros per person!
I can not recommend Angela enough for being such a kind host, always prompt with communication despite my limited spanish and was very enthusiastic and helpful and used google translator or her husband if she did not understand my questions. Muchos gracias angela!
