This flat is a hidden gem right in the heart of one of the most popular streets in old Madrid. I took a risk when I booked it as it was new to airbnb and had no previous comments attached. Surprisingly it paid off. New hosts don't usually get everything right first time. To meet Gonzalo is to see why. He is the perfect host. He met me on time and greeted me with beautiful flowers in the flat, the gorgeous scent filling the apt for days. Well prepared and thoughtful, generous with his time and kind offers of help, all those qualities are reflected in Gonzalo's flat. It has everything a long term guest needs. I stayed for one month and felt comfortable, safe and happy. The small kitchen makes a clever use of space and has all mod cons. Immaculately clean, the uncluttered flat is perfect for one or two people. Incredibly light and airy it's designed to take advantage of cooling breezes of air. Despite the central location it's as quiet as a Buddhist temple. And you couldn't beat the location. Not if you're interested in old Madrid, Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol etc, all right there on your doorstep. No need to use the handy metro (La Latina) around the corner. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this great little apartment.
