We loved staying in this perfect apartment. Alba and Ivan have completed a stylish renovation of an old boarding house. Everything is fresh, clean, and very comfortable. We had a king size bed in a large, bright room with two balconies overlooking the pedestrian street below. The location is perfect. It really is right in the heart of Madrid. We caught the yellow airport bus in and it was just a short walk up the Gran Via and easy to find. Sol Metro is very close (if you are confident negotiating foreign metro systems after a long flight). Alba and Ivan are both really warm and super helpful with lots of great suggestions. They have also created a small but functional common area for guests to use. Breakfast was simple and wholesome and it was lovely having the opportunity to get to know other guests and share stories. We made some lovely friends. We highly recommend this delightful apartment.
