I stayed a month at Silvia’s apartment and I loved every minute.
The space itself is fantastic. It’s huge for one person, well decorated, sunny (4 balconies), comfortable furniture, kitchen had everything I needed, it’s clean, wifi was strong.
Location: also fantastic. Close to 2 diff Metro lines (Tirso de Molina y La Latina), 2 huge grocery stores (Día y Carrefour), 2 mercados, many tourist attractions (Plaza Mayor, Ópera, Sta Ginés, Palacio Real, bars of La Latina, el Rastro). Many things are walkable if you know where you’re going.
Silvia is very gracious, responsive, and helpful.
Note: it is noisy at night (2 bus stations in front or the building), but I just bought some silicone earplugs and it solved the problem.
No laundry but laundromats are super close and easy to use.
