The apartment was lovely. You wouldn't guess that there is such a quiet and light filled apartment at the top of the stairs. The stairs themselves became more narrow as you climbed and then there is the surprise of a modern and beautifully appointed apartment waiting for you. Very well equipped with everything you might need for a few nights stay. The beds were comfy, the linens were clean and fresh. The layout was perfect for us - we were 2 couples and 2 teenagers and each room had its own bathroom. An essential!
The area was interesting and relaxed. Lots of bars and restaurants in the streets around. Within walking distance of the Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace and Chocolateria San Gines for churros every day. The Teenagers were able to go out for essentials on their own, lots of little shops nearby.
Although we didn't meet Gabriel, he couldn't have been a more helpful host. Emails were answered promptly and he provided us with a long list of restaurants and bars to try. Arriving was easy and we were met by the charming housekeeper who showed us around. We were provided with milk, bread and lots of fruit which was a very kind gesture.
It's a great place - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!
