Diego’s place is exactly as advertised. A cute little place for a solo traveler or a couple. The apartment is located just off of Gran Vía, with a couple of metro stations 3-5 minutes away. It’s located on a 3rd floor with no elevator, but we traveled light so that was not a problem at all. There is movement at night from the street below, since it’s off a very busy and popular area. However, it was very tolerable and we didn’t mind it since the bed and space was so comfy. On the other side of Gran Vía, you will be just blocks away from trendy neighborhoods like Malasaña and Chueca that offer a less touristy vibe than on the Gran Vía side. As a host, Diego was very attentive from the moment we booked the place; giving very detailed instructions, directions on how to get there from the airport and his personal recommendations of places to eat and see in Madrid. He was kind enough to meet us personally for check in and walk us through the building. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights and would stay again if we’re ever in Madrid!
