Pedro’s place is “exactly what it says on the tin”. It is a functional well located and accurately described apartment in the Lavapíes area of town. While the space does lack natural light (Which in fairness one knows beforehand), it was perfectly suitable for a three day vacation stay where I wasn’t in the apartment that much in any event and Madrid is a lot of fun.
The kitchen was well stocked for cooking if you want to do that, although I must confess I didn’t use it much. The bathroom looks like it is fairly new with a good powerful shower. The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows and the bedroom roomy. Internet also worked fine for me, a big plus!
One drawback was I visited in January and I did find the apartment a little chilly in the evening notwithstanding using the air conditioner heat function. My advice would be you might want to bring an extra jumper to feel more comfortable as the temperature drops although one suspects this is not at all a problem once Spring/Summer role around.
Notwithstanding the above critique, the advantages of this place were multiple. The communication with Pedro and his colleague Odette were quick and professional. Odette very kindly provided lots of tips and was provided a warm and bubbly welcome on check-in. But the best thing for me about the space was it’s location-5-min walk from metro, supermarket same distance and 24hrs, and about 18-min walk downtown. Moreover the vastly gentrifying Lavapíes was a fun district to experience.
In sum, this place is as it’s described and I’d recommend Pedro’s space to others for a short stay and thank him and Odette for their hospitality and wish them both well going forward.
