Some health emergencies with staff made me very late, but the hosts were able to let me in and met me (for a small fee) around midnight.
The location is perfect for anyone going antique shopping, or who likes, as I do, the older part of Madrid like LaLatina, which is a 7 minute walk away.
The apartment is in a tower-like structure which is singular and has a great degree of charm. It overlooks the antiques market courtyard.
While I believe a few aesthetic details can be upgraded, the heater and washer works, the fridge is new, and the towels were actually very fluffy and among the best I’ve experienced in an ABB in Spain.
I inadvertently disturbed the neighbors below, but even then, their Spanish kindness and restraint showed through as the gentleman came upstairs to talk to me about it. I hope my note and apology helped to smooth things over. Spain is a beautiful country full of great people.
