EXCELLENT 5 STAR EXPERIENCE!!!! This place is fabulous! We are in our 50's and visited for a 10 day vacation and did not want to leave. Arman's is in walking distance of the Royal Palace, views of the sierras, the river, several amazing churches with beautiful gardens, el rastro, the Prada, biblioteca, Plaza Mejor, and a flamenco club with awe-inspiring performers. Our plane was delayed 3 hours (!) and I couldn't get my phone to work in Heathrow so even with no info Arman patiently waited until we were at the Madrid airport and I could text him to say we were coming, but it was almost midnight on a workday and he waited to meet us and then very articulately, in English (my preferred language,) showed us everything we needed to know from the heat, great appliances, window openings, empty closet with hangers and drawers, to the towels, and gorgeous rain-head shower. Lots of great details. Our time in Madrid was fantastic and our time in Arman's home was a big contributing factor. If I can ever go back, I would book this home again without even looking at any others. Because everything in this flat is perfect, works and unbelievably, is even BETTER than the photos. There are plenty of glasses, cups, plates, FULL Kitchen with an electric kettle, expresso machine, iron, but the common areas are the best. Spacious. Gorgeous, plus the Wi-Fi was fast and consistent. Arman supplied us with all kinds of amenities; from info for exploration; maps, guides, etc. Plus his own collection of pieces of Art which made us want to explore all the amazing museums available in Madrid and nearby day trips to Todelo and beyond, as well as just exploring Madrid more deeply. It did not feel at all 'touristy'. One day my husband was sick and we stayed in; the building was totally quiet, and he watched the BBC news on TV. The bottom line is how COMFORTABLE it is! The couches and pillows are high-quality, curl up and read, the light is all day streaming across the large space, in from the beautiful wrought iron veranda. Perfect contrast to the black out curtains in the VERY quiet bedroom. I haven't slept that well traveling in years. LOCATION is key with this place. People say La Latina is noisy at night, but this street is both quiet and completely central. You are literally 30 seconds to several fabulous tapas bars and restaurants and 1 minute from the supermercado. The metro is everywhere and taxis are plentiful too. One of the best bakeries in all of Madrid is two doors away! Arman's kitchen is organized with everything you need, but there was no reason to cook, though we really appreciated all the amenities from sharp knives, to wine glasses and a blow dryer. The neighborhoods surrounding this location have EVERYTHING: cafes for coffee and relaxing in the sun, fountains, quiet piazzas, great late night spots for drinking, dancing, all make life...
