I like Lavapies a lot – for me it’s a perfect location. Firstly, it’s in walking distance to art museums and El Rastro. Then there are several groceries around, one even open 24/7 and a metro station to take you anywhere you wish to go. Atocha (railway station) is a 15-20 minutes away by walking, giving you easy access to Airport (C1 or bus) or to elsewhere in the country.
The apartment is small – like most of them are in this area – but each m2 has been used imaginatively to give a feeling of space and to provide you all you might need on your city holiday. The kitchenette has what it takes for small-scale self-catering – for me it was enough. The mattress was good for my back, and there was no street noise; so I slept well. I stayed here for 2 weeks. The wifi was very reliable and allowed me to work without hiccups remotely.

Regrettably I didn’t get to meet Elvira, instead I met her lovely friend Margarita. Communicating with Elvira was easy; she responded promptly and was willing to help in case I would have needed assistance. Based on our communication, I can tell she’s very amiable person.

All in all, I have no problems in recommending this apartment. I personally would love to stay again.
