The host
Although Alessandra did not talk much during our stay, it was not difficult for us to tell that she was very friendly and approachable.
Albeit that Alessandra and her family stayed in the unit, she gave us space and privacy, and would only appear when we needed her.
She was very responsive when helps were needed.
It was very kind of her to allow me to drop my luggage (and even had shower) before the official check in time of 2pm.
The Location
The apartment is located only 20 mins (by car) from the international airport and it is within walking distance to the train station (Estacion de Atocho) that connects Madrid to Barcelona.
In addition, the apartment was also located close to many places of interest (all reachable by walk, hence it saves you from transportation costs) such as Plaza Mayor, Museo de Jamon, Puerto de Sol, El Rastro, San Miguel, Palacio Real de Madrid, Jardines de Sabatini, Plaza de Oriente. There were also many good restaurants, cafe, drinking places and supermarket mostly located along Calle de Embajadores which was just 5 mins walk from the apartment. The apartment was also served by 3 different metro lines (eg Line 1, 3 and 5) in case you need to take metro. Everything was so conveniently made available to us during the stay!!
The Room and Apartment
The apartment was very clean and neat. It had all facilities we needed.
The room came with a balcony and it was spacious for two to stay. The whole apartment was huge and we really enjoyed our stay with Alessandra.
