I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment. It's in the perfect location for exploring the wonderful city of Madrid, the apartment itself is beautiful! 3 balconies, great views of the bustling callao square, metro just steps away, Sol 3 minutes walk, so many shops restaurants on the doorstep.Alicia was a perfect host- great fast communications, punctual and friendly and easy to contact. I think this is such good value for money, much better than a hotel, a massive jump to luxury and convenience over a hostal and great privacy and space. The bed is comfortable, the fridge is so handy, the shower is hot and powerful. Lots of TV channels and an ipod dock if required, I would and hopefully can stay here again in the not so distant future! Thanks Alicia for a great stay in your perfect apartment! 5 stars from me!!!
