I can't imagine a better value is Madrid. I shopped around quite a bit and finally chose Paula's place, based on the great reviews – which are all dead on.
First, the location can't be beat. It's right in the heart of the city, close to everything we wanted to see and great restaurants, but it was amazingly quiet.
The flat itself is so cozy and quaint. I was there with my son, but I'd love to bring my girlfriend next time. There's a beautiful veranda, just across the hallway, and you can see forever from the window. The bed is really comfortable, the bathroom luxurious, and the kitchen has all the essentials.
But the best part is dealing with Paula. I actually can't believe how quickly she responded to messages – every single one. Check in/out could not have been easier.
Whenever I'm in Madrid, I will always stay at Paula's.
