Juan's apartment was one of the best I have stayed at in my 5 years with AirBnb. It was exactly as described, very comfortable and impeccably designed with a modern kitchen, bathroom and newer furnishings. Upon arriving, we were greeted by Juan' lovely niece. She insisted on carrying one of my heavy suitcases up the 4 flights of stairs. After showing my wife and I the apartment, she made certain we had no questions before leaving us with her phone number, in case it was needed. The apartment was in a progressive neighborhood that ely very safe day and night. It was centrally located and we walked to the Palacio Real (15 min), Plaza del Sol (20 min), and a large and famous Department store chain, El Corte Ingles (15 min). We cooked two of the nights during our stay since the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed and then some. Local grocery stores (2 blocks away) allowed for picking up any food needed. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed Juan's apartment and highly recommend it to anyone visiting my Madrid.
