An unassuming entrance hides what my family agreed was their favorite Airbnb during our 3 week trip to Spain. Maria was a gracious hostess and maintained excellent communication in advance and on the day of our arrival. An open floorplan, AC in the common area as well as a separate unit for each bedroom, a spacious kitchen and a terrific location made this a standout. We loved the washing machine, large kitchen, grocery store on the same block(!), proximity to metro, and recently renovated neighborhood Mercado with food court only 2 blocks away! As a gentrifying and gay-friendly district, La Chueca is a destination neighborhood known throughout Madrid full of sidewalk cafes, restaurants, and various international and Spanish regional cuisines - we enjoyed Udon, Thai, empanadas and had our choice of tapas bars. We also felt incredibly comfortable walking around the area with our 9 and 11 year olds, and there were many families out and about. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
