I have been visiting Madrid for the past 5 years and this is the first time I have stayed in an Airbnb, with some reservations I must admit, as opposed to a hotel. My concerns were unfounded and the apartment was lovely, spotlessly clean, newly renovated with all new furniture and appliances and a very comfortable bed. The central location was perfect, 3 minutes from bus and metro connections, on a quiet and very safe Avenue. Consuelo was the perfect host; welcomed me warmly on arrival and I found the apartment stocked with toiletries, paper, tea and coffee, sugar, olive oil, really almost everything you needed to get you started. The kitchen was well equipped with stove, fridge, washing machine and having a coffee maker, kettle and toaster was great for a fast breakfast in the morning or a late night snack on my return in the evenings. The apartment is just 2 minutes from Princessa where you will find interesting little shops, cafes, and restaurants. Consuelo was just wonderful and I really appreciated her advice and support during my stay. The computer connection was very fast and reliable and allowed me to do some work in the apartment when needed. As an older professional woman I am a little fussy but can highly recommend this apartment without reservation! I will certainly be returning next year.
