The apartment is exactly as described and pictured. I never formally met Laura but she always made sure I had everything I needed and available if ever I had a question. David showed me to the apartment and gave the keys to me upon my arrival. He was extremely welcoming and also made himself available via phone if ever I needed anything. Everything of necessity and more (grocery, shops, restaurants, bars, points of interest, etc.) are within walking distance. For those places that anyone would like to see further than walking distance the metro is just outside the apartment on the main street. The area surrounding the apartment is lively and fun in any direction really. I greatly enjoyed my stay here and would certainly recommend it to everyone.
Quick tip: there is a gelato shop by the apartment that is excellent. Go out to Gran Via and left towards the metro. It's about 30ft up the street on the left.
