We stayed in Vanessa's apartment for 4 nights while in Madrid. The studio is quite small, but does the trick. It's located in a great location, making walking everywhere very easy. We were met by Vanessa's friend, as Vanessa was out of town (this was not a problem).

The apartment doesn't have a lift, but is on the first floor, so this was not a problem for us. The studio has most amenities for the kitchen. There is a standalone air conditioning unit in the apartment which was great as it get's very hot in there. There aren't any windows there that allow for air flow, just a little window above the entrance that allows for the air conditioning system to work. We were there in early September, and it was in the 90's. We were instructed not to use the air conditioning unit at night because it does get noisy but there is also a fan in there. So you should be fine. For me, I get hot easily so it was a bit much but I survived just fine.

There was a key issue to the front door of the building, which resulted in having the lock replaced. We didn't have a phone there, so we had to figure out how to get into the building without reaching out to Vanessa. This proved to be easy, as no one could get in and eventually a smart old man came to the door, and started ringing all the doorbells until someone opened up. We came into our apartment and received an email from Vanessa saying that the door broke and that she had left us a spare under the mat in front of the door. This was great, as people in the building didn't even have a key yet, and we were taken care of.

Overall, this is a great studio. It does get warm in their but other than that, I would definitely recommend this studio. All the reason to be out on the town and enjoying Madrid.
