Isabel’s studio is located very conveniently one block from the Sol metro station. Most of Madrid’s major sights are either in walking distance or accessible through an easy metro connection. Although located on a busy square, the studio faces an internal courtyard and is very quiet inside. As one commentator has already noted, the studio is small but the space is very efficiently utilized. All of the appliances and fixtures are new and worked flawlessly. Although I did not meet Isabel and Mariola, they were in communication with me throughout my stay and always responded promptly to my inquiries. Isabel also recommended some very interesting cultural attractions and bars/restaurants that do not appear in guidebooks – a major factor in making my stay in Madrid a unique and memorable one.
