We had the BEST experience at llija's apartment. It was better than the photos and so clean and comfortable. She was extremely friendly and very fast to answer my questions. We felt like it was our home away from home in this gorgeous apartment. Touring Madrid and then coming home to the apartment was the perfect end to every day. It is close to the markets and walkable to to the Royal Palace and Opera house - a fantastic and very safe area to wander around. We truly loved our stay and were sad to leave. Thank you Ilija for making our stay in Madrid extra special.
