Manu’s place is amazing. I’m almost tempted not to say how I feel so that it won’t get booked up in the future.
This place is absolutely perfect for a solo traveler in Madrid (and possibly more people, I was just staying there myself).
It’s even nicer than the pictures, in a perfect neighborhood on a relatively quiet side street. Everything in the apartment is stylish, new, and well maintained.
It’s an excellent value, the bed and couch are extremely comfortable, and Manuel was an attentive and responsive host (he gave me two sleeves of espresso pods when I messaged that I could only find decaf).
It’s a wonderful studio for relaxing at the end of the day, pleasant to spend time in during the morning, and anytime in between.
As this is still Madrid I would recommend if you are sensitive to occasional street noise to bring earplugs. Having stayed elsewhere while I was in the city I can say with confidence Manuel’s place is still very much on the quiet side.
