What a fantastic apartment. It couldn't be more central - but so quiet up on the 5th floor. Yes, it's a bit of a climb up those stairs - especially after a big meal and too many drinks! But the fabulous, airy apartment, and that roof terrace, are well worth it. It was fiercely hot (for May) while we were there - but we never needed to turn on the AC. With the windows and the door to the terrace open, a cool breeze blows through all day and night. And leaving that terrace door open over night is no problem - it would take a seriously determined spiderman to make it up there! Communication with Miguel was faultless - and knowing that the staff in the flamenco bar were there all day and up to 11pm if we had any problems made for a stress-free trip. We took advantage of the invitation to see the show too - which was fantastic (we've seen a few flamenco shows and this is the real deal) - and, as it's usually €40 a head, that effectively took €80 off our bill. The apartment itself is great - well arranged and stocked - with a useful kitchen, comfortable bed and sun-drenched bathroom. And the roof terrace is the icing on the cake. Some earlier reviews mentioned that it was sparsely furnished - but the hosts have clearly paid heed to that and there's now a large umbrella for shade, a table and four chairs, plus a pair of bean bags. And though there's no washing machine, there's also a drying rack out on the terrace if you want to wash your smalls in the sink! A wonderful experience all round - and definitely our first choice for a return trip to Madrid.
