We thoroughly recommend Julio’s apartment for a trip to Madrid. We loved the buzzy area of Lavapies, which was really convenient for getting to places - such as Atocha, the museums, the Retiro, key shopping areas and some cool bars and restaurants - they’re all in walking distance, but there’s also a metro station a couple of blocks up the road from the apartment.
Julio is a super amenable host, and the apartment itself is lovely - very comfortable, clean and well equipped.
We’ve stayed in some really great Airbnb places over the years, but this was possibly our best experience to date, so thank you, Julio!
