In real estate they always say “Location, Location, Location,” well Alfredo’s apartment has a great location and so much more. It’s conveniently located right between the vibrant Malasaña and Chueca neighborhoods, there are plenty of great shops, bars, and restaurants nearby, such that you could have a great time in Madrid without ever leaving a 5 block radius around the apartment. It’s within walking distance of all the major tourist attractions and only a couple of blocks from both the Chueca and Tribunal Metro stops.
The apartment itself is a good-sized walk-up on the 5th floor. It has all the immunities you need to enjoy your time in Madrid. My favorite part of the apartment was the intimate rooftop terrace, which Alfredo has eloquently adorned with warm lighting and beautiful plants. We enjoyed coffee on the terrace in the mornings and a bottle of wine in the evenings.
Alfredo was a fantastic host, we were delayed in arriving and he was very accommodating. Alfredo provides us with ample recommendations for things to do and see around town, and left us cookies and coffee to enjoy during our stay. In all, I would recommend this apartment to everyone for all the reasons noted above: great location, great place, great host.
