Adorable apartment in walking distance of the major museums. Hosts were very friendly and the apartment is as lovely as the pictures. Also very comfortable! They had lots of nice touches (coffee, olive oil, scissors, an air drying rack for laundry) that made it a great base to come back to after exploring the city. The design touches make the place stand out — this is not an IKEA/Airbnb showroom — this place has Madrid style & flair! Lavapies is an immigrant/hipster neighborhood. (Think East Village/lower east side in NYC). It is not a “ritzy” neighborhood, but very cool and has a ton of hidden gem local shops and restaurants, especially as you walk towards Huertas (a block or two north). We found this to be a great base for exploring the city on foot.
