We booked this place in a hurry and in the last minute. So I was not sure what to expect from this relatively new listing. But I think in the process, I have discovered a rare gem!
While I loved everything about the place, the highlights for me were:
1. Location, location and location: When the listing, and also our hosts, mentioned that apartment to be located in the heart of Madrid, I didn't expect it to be this central. It is right on a street with some of the best pubs and bars in Madrid. It literally is a place where you do not have to go find a party because the party comes to you :-) And after being tired of all the partying, you take a few steps and you are back in the peace and quite environs of this lovely apartment.
2. Great local tips: Being a foodie myself, I pleasantly found our that host Luis too is one. And his spot-on recommendations for places to eat and drink - most within a walking distance of the apartment - made my food experience in Madrid a memorable one. Also, the sight seeing recommendations by Tania were a great help.
3. Modern, clean and comfortable apartment: Newly renovated, clean apartment with all modern amenities made for a very comfortable and relaxing stay.
4. Warm and super friendly hosts: Classic warm Spanish hospitality!
Can't wait to be back there next summer for a longer stay.
Thank you Luis and Tania!!!
