Marta and Javier’s place was practically perfect! The beds and pillows (important!) are very comfortable, the apartment is quiet (there are high quality double windows in the street facing rooms), the air conditioning and showers work very well, there are plenty of dishes and glasses, and there is a supermarket right next door! The apartment also has a cozy feel to it, which is nice to have when traveling. Although the building has an elevator, the apartment is just up one flight of stairs so quite handy. I’d say the only thing that could make this apartment perfect is if the old shudders outside of the two front rooms were replaced (or if there were thick curtains in the rooms) so that the street/car light does not come in. Otherwise this apartment is a gem and an extremely comfortable stay in Madrid!
