This two-bedroom apartment with full kitchen, modern appliances, and outdoor seating area was great value at under $200 per night in (almost) downtown Madrid (approx 1 km from the Plaza Mayor). Ideal for families or two couples, it’s a pleasure to have that open space between rooms and people. There is also a pretty hip bar on the corner as well, that attracts an interesting crowd.
The only drawback I observed is the keyless entry system. I know that all the young hipsters these days are totes cool with using their cell phones for everything, but trying to explain to my elderly father-in- law how to download an application, receive an email, enter a code, and use the app to open doors was not within his capabilities. Scanning facial recognition is a bit creepy as well. One step closer to living in the Matrix I suppose…
