The apartment was just what my friend and I needed for our 3 day visit to Madrid. We ended up being in Madrid for the hottest weekend this year to-date, so we were VERY grateful for the working air conditioning. The 80 stairs were no problem for us because we brought only one backpack per person, though if someone had 50lb. suitcases I can imagine that they would be difficult to get up to the room. The shower is spacious, and the towels were very soft. Pedro was kind enough to have ice in the freezer and snacks put out on a little table - a breakfast bar or croissant for each person and for each morning of our visit.
