The best thing about this flat is the location. Everything was so close. We loved the atmosphere below us on the pedestrian street with tapas places and restaurants. The place was great for me and my twin daughters.
There was a steep walk up two flights of stairs that strengthened us for our walks throughout Madrid. When we first arrived, the flights caused us to be out of breath...by the end we were running up them with little issue.
The layout offers natural light in the main bedroom (which is overlooking a bustling tapa and food scene) and a small window in the second bedroom (although during our stay it overlooked construction).
The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked there often (the restaurants were amazing near by, but eating out all the time became costly). The home Internet was fine for my daughters to attend online classes and for me to work on my studies at the same time.
The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The bathroom could use a bit of an update or some minor repairs (one light did not work, the tub needed recaulking and there were some minor holes in the tile walls that were filled in poorly), but these things should not dissuade anyone from renting this place. The price is reasonable, the place is clean, and the location is amazing.
Plus Rafael was easy to communicate with when we had a minor issue. We would recommend.
