Marta and Enrique’s place was fantastic, a lovely apartment in a vibrant area of the city! I had the pleasure of running into Marta on my way out to explore one day and she happened to be returning to the building. She was so helpful in offering recommendations for great places nearby to eat or socialize!
I saw some reviews say the place was on a quiet side street and some say it was on a busy thoroughfare. I’d say the reality is somewhere in between! The place is on Calle de López Silva, just off of Calle de Toledo. Toledo is a busy thoroughfare, with lots of shops, restaurants, nightlife and public transportation, but López Silva is less traveled, so my experience was that I heard a little street noise from Toledo, but it was muffled since it was a block away, and it didn’t in any way disturb my sleep or relaxation. I thought it was nice! You’re in a big city, after all, so it would be eerie for it to be too quiet, I think.
I couldn’t recommend Marta and Enrique’s apartment enough! Thank you both!
