First of all the pictures are accurate. Great apartment in a fabulous central location right on plaza San Miguel overlooking the great food hall. 1 minute walk to plaza Mayor, and 7 minutes walk to Gran Via. 15 min to the Prado. Excellent hosts who respond quickly.
It’s a large apartment on the 3rd floor. High ceilings, 3 sets of French doors with small balconies give great light into the living room. Plenty of space. Big plasma tv. Excellent Bose sound system. Huge, well appointed kitchen. Two reasonable sized bedrooms. I think the one I used had a memory foam mattress. Very comfortable. Good hanging space and drawers. The bathroom was large. Two deep handbasins. A huge funky shower. Good hot water. But not a separate toilet. WIFI was not great in the bedrooms, but ok in the living areas. Not a real issue.
The hosts had left items for cooking, oil, spices etc. plus one shot coffee machine pods. Very thoughtful. I’d recommend. The apartment without hesitation. I am extremely well travelled and this was great value and made the Madrid stay really enjoyable.
Apart from the amazing food hall of San Miguel on the doorstep, there’s a small supermarket over the road. 5 doors away there is an excellent restaurant who are famous for their fried artichokes.
Madrid’s a great city and you will love this apartment. I will stay again.
