If you will be in Madrid and need a place to stay, YOU MUST BOOK MAGUI'S PLACE!!!! Do not even look at other options, seriously!!! My daughter and I just concluded our stay there and we couldn't have been happier (or luckier) to stay there! I don't even know there to start, but suppose it's location, location, location! Her place was so central to everything we wanted to see and do (easy walk to most or quick taxi if needed). The placement on the 5th floor provides the BEST views overlooking Plaza Mayor, so much fun to people watch and take it all in.
The place itself is delightfully decorated and most impressively it's a great size! There's the terrace for dining or viewing the activities in the plaza, a cute little living room, dining room, then a good size hallway takes you to the back of apartment for the kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom.
The unit was so quiet even being on the plaza (thanks to double paned windows) and the beds were super comfortable. Those two points were key for me since I'm such a light sleeper and have back/hip issues if I sleep on a firm bed.
Her place has every amenity, A/C, washer (and a drying line) all toiletries, cooking items, wi-fi, tv, etc.
Elevator gets you up the first 4 flights, and then you walk up the last flight. She has a book with great recommendations, maps, other books, too. We took her suggestion and dined at Cafe Central and they had the most amazing band playing that night (Red House Revival), you have to check them out!!
All in all, our stay her was PERFECT and I cannot recommend it highly enough, ONE OF THE BEST AIRBNB's I'VE EVER STAYED AT!! Super happy customer :-D
