Oscar was a wonderful host and the apartment was fantastic. He greeted us in the street upon arrival, showed us the apartment, and then gave us a very tasty bottle of Spanish cava to celebrate our honeymoon. He even carried my (over-packed and heavy) suitcase up the four flights of stairs. The apartment was beautiful, very clean, well equipped, and the perfect size for the two of us. The only issue we had is that the hot water runs out fast in the shower – it was fine when we both took our normal 3-5 minute showers, but went lukewarm to cold during the second shower. Nothing for us to complain about, though - just be prepared if you tend to take long showers and be considerate if someone needs to shower after you! The location is perfect and in walking distance to just about everything. We visited a couple of the places recommended by the hosts, and especially loved the Vinicola Mentridana wine bar - would definitely recommend it ourselves. And for as many people that walk by on the street below, it was nice and quiet in the apartment. We had a great time in Madrid and would highly recommend this apartment and Oscar & Vanessa as a host to anyone visiting. If we ever come back to Madrid, we would want to stay here again.
