This was our first time in Madrid and the apartment and its location helped make this a fantastic trip. The location is very central with lots of nice cafes, pubs and restaurants nearby. Consuelo and Alberto, our hosts, also own a really cool shop just beneath the apartment which is well worth a visit.
The apartment was lovely inside and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped and the bathroom had a really nice shower. There's also free access to plenty of exercise, courtesy of the five flights of stairs. It helped us work off all the lovely food we ate, but if you're elderly or very unfit / have health problems that might affect your ability to ascend so many stairs, it might be worth considering another apartment.
There is nothing we can fault about this apartment or our hosts. They were extremely accommodating, very helpful and super friendly. If we return to Madrid, which we very much hope to, we would be delighted to be able to stay here again and will definitely look this place up first.
Oh, and if you're in town, be sure to check out the Flamenco show at Casa Patas. It was an unforgettable evening.
