This is our third time renting this place from Sylvia, so our happiness is backed by actions... and we certainly intend to rent it again. It is a very comfortable place and we just love the area. We can walk everywhere, but for those times when it is just to hot, there are so many choices for transportation. There are enough good restaurants in the area to walk to a fine place each evening and never have to go more than 300m. The porter of the building is friendly and people say hello. It gives us a feeling that we are living in Madrid. So much nicer than a hotel. And with the temperature reaching 36C on several days, it was nice to be just 200m from Parque Buen Retiro. Great host, great apartment, and great location.
