Very cute apartment with lots of character and color. The area was quiet at night, but being close to the University, had several hip areas to venture out. Good cafes and restaurants nearby. Very walkable to the main Palace and El Prado. The pictures are exactly as it looks: vibrant and lived-in aesthetic.
The cons: the July 2022 heatwave here has affected everyone, so it’s not specifically this location. Although there were AC units, the loft was extremely hot. One of our friends had to instead sleep on the couch which was just fine. There is also 4 flights of stairs without a lift in case you have physical limitations.
Like I said, I would reserve again if I’m ever in Madrid for its location, aesthetic, and cleanliness. However, I might time it for when it feels less like Satan’s butthole.
