First off, Juliana was a fantastic host. She managed to completely respect my privacy while also putting personal touches on my stay (breakfast one day, conversation another, leaving water by the bed, etc). Even with our language differences she still knew enough English to provide recommendations and was extremely patient with my broken Texas-Spanish.
My only concern before arriving was that I would be too tall (6’2”) for the loft but I was able to fully stand at the part that mattered so no problems there. The unit was clean the entire time and I had no issues at all.
The neighborhood is what you’d expect from one of Madrid’s busiest plazas. It was packed yet somehow still very quiet inside at night. Some really good restaurants and bars nearby as well. Lastly, it’s less than a 15 min walk to basically every major item for the short stay and literally less than a 2 min walk to the Sol metro stop for people that want to explore more.
