I loved and enjoyed my stay at Milagros and Raul’s place! It was very cozy, perfectly maintained, updated features on all and super clean! The street is just two blocks from a major park that’s affiliated with the Royal Palace and grounds. The Palace and it’s major cathedral is about a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment, which at that point you’re in Madrid Center area and the walk flattens out. There is so much to see and take in at that point!
The apartment neighbor has plenty of grocery options, there’s a fabulous fresh fruit market directly across the street, restaurants are plentiful. I used Uber probably 4 times, all hours of the day and night with great ease. Also, I did an electric bike which was a highlight!! To find the station take a left out of the apartment, walk to the end of the street (Burger King on left) take a right and walk maybe 3 blocks. You’ll find plenty is taxis there, as well.
On noise, the street is quiet, but the building itself is a bit noisy, with families, children talking-living life. Heavy, old (beautiful) apartment entry doors occasionally get slammed...no different than thoughtless people in hotels, nothing that disturbed me or bothered my sleep. It’s just open windows and city living. If a view is important, there isn’t one, but the windows are new, really nice to open for the fresh air. I was never uncomfortable. I used the washing machine once and truly appreciated this option, one I’ve never had at another AirBnB.
You won’t be sorry you traveled to Madrid! I’m in love...and staying here you’re in great hands and truly get to feel Madrid living in great style.
