My boyfriend and I visited Madrid for the first time and overall were delighted with this apartment.

Perfectly located at the heart of the city, we did all of our exploring by foot with ease.

The apartment is beautifully decorated and met our expectations from the photos. The air conditioning system was much appreciated as the temperatures outside reached over 30c.

On the same street as the apartment was a great cocktail bar ‘Martinez' as well as the cute coffee shop ‘Cafe De La Luz’, which we discovered on our last day (we’d have gone there every morning for breakfast had we known sooner what a great spot it was).

When making the booking Meyling did mention that there was construction at the back of the building, however the construction was a little more apparent than we had anticipated. The building entrance stairwell was filled with building materials and a cement mixer. That being said, when we used the stairwell while the construction workers were there, we found them to be very polite and considerate to keep the stairway open for us to get past. Construction noise started at 8am every morning and was easily heard through the apartment walls but as we were up and out early everyday sight-seeing it wasn’t a big deal for us. I can fully appreciate the importance of the restoration of these beautiful historic buildings and we noticed a lot of building revitalization work as we explored around Madrid.

Communication with Meyling prior and during our stay was effortless so I wouldn’t hesitate to rent with Meyling in the future. I would love to go back and stay again when the building construction is complete. If the rest of the building turns out to be a nice as the apartment, it will be beautiful!
