a view that is worth each and every one of those 125 stairs... TRUST!
what a memorable place... this is a fantastic hub to explore the city centre (barely a 20 min stroll to ANYTHING you can possibly dream of doing in Madrid) Although the place is “bijou” (as some state agent may say) Alvar has done an absolutely great job of it... we felt at home straight away.
the roof terrace is another story, where to begin..? the mere fact that it allows you to look down upon the tourist minions from your private 360-degree-panoramic-view terrace is SO WORTH the stay!!!
Alvar was a sublime host and kept in touch with us throughout the entire time to make sure that everything was okay - Communication from the outset has been great.
As mentioned in the title, there are five flights of stairs to get up to the attic-flat... that said, they are pretty easy (not like those you may find in Amsterdam or the like) Also, it is worth noting that hauling bottles of wine up to the roof keeps one sufficiently fit, whilst you spend the rest of the day downing them along with large amounts of legendary spanish charcuterie (at least that’s what we did)
A distrutar Madrid!!!
Letmar (and Will)
