The apartment was a good place to stay for a short weekend in Madrid. Lavapies is a fantastic district to stay in and explore from. You're close to the main centre of Sol as well as the museums and only a short walk into the Barrio de las Letras (one of my favourite places in Madrid) with all the bars and restaurants there.

The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen were perfectly great for a short stay - if you're cooking a big meal every night the kitchen would be annoyingly small but for just preparing breakfast or a snack it's perfect!

I think, from reading the past reviews, that I thought Ariadna lived here but actually it's part of a set of three in the same building which are rented out to guests and Ariadna isn't around (or at least wasn't for us) - which explains why the flat rules were very very confusing to us (as a number of the things mentioned such as the piano - the tapas - the sofa bed - weren't in this flat.) This made the slightly late communication about check in and the lack of response about bags on checkout make sense. For note, if anyone needs it because they can't get hold of Reymer or Ariadna - Atocha station has lockers where you can leave bags for only 3,40 Eur for 24 hrs (medium sized locker) and it's a short walk from the appt.
