I stayed two nights at Ariadna and Reymer's studio apartment upon my arrival in Madrid while I was searching for a permanent apartment to rent. The first thing that I'll say is that the neighborhood is fantastic, and I'm actually living in an apartment just two blocks north of the property (be aware though, if you're looking for wide, tree-lined avenues and luxury buildings, I'd recommend looking closer to Salamanca). But there is a ton of energy in the area that I would say is a bit more catered to locals than what you might find up by Sol. There are great places for food and drink, with both Spanish and ethnic fare aplenty. But also, the side streets (which this property is located on) are very quiet and shielded from the noise around the corner.

The apartment itself was very clean and well equipped (although I couldn't figure out how to open the laundry machine... I'll blame myself for that one). Reymer greeted me and was very accommodating. Their food recommendations were good (if you get the zapatilla, order the 1/2 order and even then share it... it's intense). Maybe an older person or someone who had a few too many drinks out might have some problems with the ladder getting to the bed, but it worked fine for me.

Thanks again!
