We had a very warm welcome from Elise, the apartment manager, who was super helpful with the provision of maps, recommendations in the area (where to eat, shop for food etc) & places to visit in the city. The apartment itself was exactly as seen in the photos and I really loved it. Being the top floor it has wooden roof beams, and the decor is simple, classy and tasteful. Everything was clean and well-kept, the bedlinen crisp and the white towels fluffy! The apartment not very big (particularly the bathroom), and in my opinion 4 people sharing would find it a bit of a squeeze. There's not much space to prepare food if you eat in, for example. For two sharing it was perfect, though. It's nice and bright with roof windows letting the sun pour in. It is really central - a 15 minute walk to pretty much everywhere in the historic centre of Madrid, and right by a metro stop if you want to go further afield. One thing to bear in mind is that it is on the 4th floor of a traditional building and there is no lift, so there are a lot of stairs! (Which could feel eternal after a long day visiting the city and for which my travelling companion did not thank me for as she heaved a huge suitcase up them on the first day!). I really liked the neighbourhood, which seems to be a total mix of cultures, with lots of immigrants (mostly Asian and African) and bohemian young Madrileños. Despite being so central, the apartment is really quiet and the beds comfortable (pretty crucial for a good night's rest). All in all a lovely place to stay. I would definitely stay again and would recommend it without hesitation.
