Apt – The apartment was perfect for me. While there were no views of Madrid to be had from the many windows in this interior apartment it was not dark at all. More importantly it afforded the quietest sleep possible. The fully equipped galley kitchen was stylish and efficiently organized; well stocked with all the dry goods and spices one would need to cook up anything. Each room has a separately controlled AC/heating unit. Although I was in Madrid for pleasure, I can see where the kitchen/dining table that separated the kitchen from the living room could easily function as work area in a pinch, especially because of good internet speed. The L-shaped sofa was comfortable and nap friendly. The bedroom had ample closet space with a comfortable king bed. Good water pressure in the shower was a welcome respite after a busy day in Madrid.
Location – The apartment is on a tree-lined street in the Salamanca neighborhood of Madrid. Salamanca, located northeast of the historical and very busy center of Madrid, is one of the wealthier areas of the city. The apartment itself is close to many good eateries and all the services you would want; including the Mercado de la Paz which is just a 12 min walk. Bottom line, you can’t ask for a better location.
Host – Cristina was a gracious host. She was easy to get a hold of (via WhatsApp) and responded promptly to any question.
