I cannot imagine a more perfect place to stay while exploring Madrid. Tucked on a quiet side street, the apartment is a beautiful and restful home base in an amazing neighborhood. Within a few minutes from the apartment, we walked all over Lavapies and the Barrio de los Letros, enjoying countless tiny local cafes and shops. It was also an easy walk to the Atocha metro station, which gave us access to all the other neighborhoods in Madrid. The apartment itself is exactly as pictured, full of light, stylish, clean, and well equipped with everything you need including a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The showerhead is great and the bed comfortable. Also, the hosts are fantastic, friendly, helpful, and responsive. Emilio shared recommendations for restaurants and bars, and when we checked in Paulo drew all over a map of the city to explain the different neighborhoods. We didn't need anything during our stay but they made it clear we could call on them for any assistance we needed, and they made check-in and check-out a breeze. I would come back in a heartbeat!
