This was a truly *perfect* Airbnb experience. I lived in this apartment for two months while working on a novel and here are just some of what made it amazing: 1.) the apartment is unique, modern & stunning; 2.) the location is ideal, close to Picasso's Guernica at the Reina Sofia & the Prado & Retiro Park & many other city center sites. It's in a vibrant community with a lot of good food & good art; 3.) Miriam & Ana are phenomenal hosts, go out of their way to make you feel at home, including wonderful suggestions about restaurants, festivals, and must-do events & sites. I came to think of them as friends; 4.) did I mention the apartment is perfect? The kitchen is modern. There are three ways to make coffee. There are two balconies. There's everything you need. And there's a deep beautiful bathtub in, yes, the bedroom. This apartment came to feel like home & I'll miss it. Madrid is an easy city to fall in love with, but from this home base it was pretty much Shangri-la. I hope to stay here again in the future.
