Our family traveled to Madrid during the Xmas holiday for an extended visit and we stayed at Miguel's apartment the entire duration of our trip, approximately 3 weeks. Since the moment we arrived, we immediately felt at home in Miguel's place. We arrived in the early evening and Miguel's assistant, Juani, was there to greet us. She was very nice and she explained to us how everything worked and answered all our questions about the appliances. We were given a bottle of wine and some fruit, which was a nice gesture. Also, we were provided with extra supplies (laundry detergent, trash bags, etc.), given our lengthy stay. These small details demonstrate how much Miguel cares about making sure his guests feel at home and comfortable. Communication with Miguel prior to and during our stay was impeccable. He always answered our emails promptly and always was courteous and kind. For us, the main highlight of the apartment is that it's a peaceful and quiet retreat from the bustling city of Madrid. Since the unit is located on the top floor, there are no neighbors above you. We had a peaceful and quiet stay, which is exactly what we were looking for. Also, the location of Miguel's place can't be beat. It's located in the heart of the Barrio de Salamanca neighborhood and literally half a block away from the Lista metro station. You'll find anything you need right in the neighborhood. There's great dining (very affordable), grocery stores, shoes stores, Zara, Starbucks, Chocolateria Valor, etc. You could spend days just exploring everything the neighborhood has to offer. Also, if you like to run, El Retiro park is just a 15 minute walk away. We will definitely return to Miguel's apartment and recommend it highly.
