This space is exactly as described. Clean and comfortable, LOVED the patio...perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee!
The neighborhood is quaint and the building itself is fairly quiet (there was a little more noise on the weekend then during the week). There is no close market but there was a convenient store just a couple of blocks away and there you can find basic staples (milk, bread, coffee). Just a couple of blocks away there is the most wonderful bakery and like it or not, the smell will draw you in!
Plenty of places to eat within walking distance and once you get orientate, there are no limits!
Its an easy walk to the metro and had only a little bit of trouble finding a taxi but nothing that a little planning ahead and patience won't resolve but the metro is the way to go!
It was unfortunate that we were never able to meet our host in person but his schedule would not permit it. However, he was quick to respond to email or phone calls and made a point of communicating to be sure we were okay.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if I found myself back in Madrid! Highly recommend!!!
