Alfonso is a lovely host who provided a warm welcome on our arrival, and put himself out to be available to show us around the apartment even though it was after 21:00 hrs. There were some nice additional touches such as chilled water in the fridge, wine, coffee, bagels and fruit to help start us off before our first visit to the shops. The apartment is superb in both its amenities and location. It was impeccably clean and well appointed. It surpassed our expectations and our teenage daughters thought it was really cool to be in such a stylish Penthouse apartment with a wonderful patio and balcony with great views of Gran Via and much more beyond. Gran Via is a vibrant and lively spot and is a great base to easily explore Madrid. Although Gran Via is lively the apartment was extremely quiet thanks to good double glazing.
The weather in Madrid, as to be expected in August was very hot, but thankfully the air conditioned apartment provided welcome respite.
We were very impressed with the whole experience provided by both the apartment and its location and would highly recommend it. We'd definitely stay in this apartment again. Alfonso was also very accommodating at the end of our stay when we inquired about the prospect of leaving our luggage. Thank you Alfonso - we really enjoyed your wonderful apartment.
