Juan’s apartment couldn’t be better situated if you are looking to be in the heart of Madrid with a lot less noise and much more of a “Real Madrid experience”. It’s just a few steps from the Metro, and a short walk from many, many fine places in Malasaña to experience.
The ‘open concept’ flat (apartment) is clean, comfortable, sunny and well lit with ample facility to darken for sleeping, even in mid afternoon. The modern European kitchen is compact, but complete with induction cooktop, combi oven, dishwasher and requisite cooking utensils, flatware and dishes.
The large bath salon has a changing area with sink and vanity in an ante room, and a separate three piece washroom with toilet, sink with a large glazed shower (rainfall head as well as a hand held wand).
The bed is comfortable, with a firm mattress and good quality linens. A large closet walk-in closet is provided, which is ample for suitcase storage.
Juan has provided many nice touches, accoutrements as well as a short guide with recommendations to the area which was especially appreciated. We hope to return at some future date to try out some of the other suggestions.
But I’ve saved the best for last: Juan and his family’s hospitality. When delays with our flight didn’t get us to Juan’s place until well after midnight, we were still greeted with a smiling face who took the time to orient us with the apartment and provide us with a nice welcome, as well as a bottle of wine.
Our overall experience exceeded our expectations and was really first rate! We would gladly recommend this property to friends and family.
