My girlfriend stayed here in October and convinced me that this was the perfect spot for us...and she was right.
Nico's loft is located less than two blocks from Gran Via, which I regard as the heart of Madrid. Some of the best shopping in the world is within walking distance and there are a variety of great restaurants and theaters just as close. If you want to do your own cooking, there is a well stocked grocery store right across the street.
The entry is secure and the apartment door has a very heavy lock. The windows have shutters for added security
The apartment itself is a well appointed gem. While most rentals have clothes washers, this apartment also has a dishwasher and a large refrigerator and freezer. The internet is fast and the TV has a hundred channels, both local and international.
The bathroom is small but efficient, with a great shower and lots of hot water.
The queen size bed is really comfortable.
Nico also goes above and beyond with a Netspresso machine and a variety of utensils.
As a host, Nico is very accommodating and responded to our questions within an hour.
We get to Madrid three or four times a year and always use AirBnB rentals. When my usual was not available we tried Nico's place. After two stays, this is "my" apartment in Madrid.
