From the moment we were met at the lift doors by a very welcoming and helpful host Alfonso, we knew Madrid was going to be a special time. The apartment is completely contemporary, spacious and accommodated our group of 6 easily. The balcony though was the lure...sitting outside overlooking the Gran Vie and watching both day and night time Madrid energised. The location is exceptional - close to shops, shopping and the main arterials to all the attractions. It's also a comfortable walk to the La Latina eating area which is fabulous. Alfonso left fresh fruit, water and a bottle of wine. We so appreciated his help and the accommodation experience and city living we experienced. thank you Alfonso...100 % recommend.
