Imagine a really nice hotel suite. Full bathroom AND a powder room. Living / dining space. Full kitchen. King sized bed. Twin balconies. Basically, that is what you are getting with this rental – but at a fraction of the cost.
We were in town to watch a family member playing jazz for the week at an old club around the corner (Café Central) – it was about a 2-minute walk (we would highly recommend stopping there if you enjoy live music).
The location (in general) is spectacular. Walking distance to most of the major attractions in Madrid. And for excursions farther afield it is ideally located relative to public transit. The front door of the building is on a busy street but the apartment itself opens out to a much smaller and more charming side street. With the twin balcony doors open you can hear some traffic and the hustle and bustle from the bigger road - but the bedroom is tucked back into the building and opens to a lightwell – and it was wonderfully quiet.
The apartment is pristine – clearly well maintained and perfectly appointed. It would be very easy to spend an extended stay here (as other reviewers note). The half bath was an awesome addition. And of course, the king size bed was great.
Sheets and towels were abundant and high quality. And we came to truly love the towel warming rack in the bathroom. The availability of toiletries (toothbrushes, razors, soap and shampoo) was a great feature and again felt very much like staying at a nice hotel.
As others note – the daily housekeeping was above and beyond and we returned (exhausted) each day to a spotless apartment with the bed made and everything in its place.
The technology package was nice – you can opt to use it as much (or as little) as you like.
By the time our visit was over we had walked many many charming neighborhoods but were we to return we would opt to stay here again in a heartbeat. We have stayed in a number of very nice Air BnBs and this is one of the very best we have had the chance to enjoy. Highest possible recommendation.
