Why the Owner Chose Madrid
My wife & I purchased this apartment 18 years ago to live there, the same month we signed the deeds, we found out we where going to be parents & never actually moved in. We decideed to keep the apartment as we love it so, it's bright and charming, it's hard to find such a centrally located place in a quiet neighbourhood.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
You can walk just about everywhere and the Metro (subway) is just 2 minutes as you are in the heart of the old city, however, a good nights sleep is guaranteed as you really can't hear any noise at night.

The apartment is very nice, very clean, in a clean building. It is comfortable for three and very well equipped. The owner was very helpful and provided lots of information. It's close to the sights, shopping and to Atocha Station. The area itself is a bit run down. If some of your party likes long showers, the hot water will run out... I would recommend it to others. We liked most the Pad Thai restaurant nearby.

Great location -- from airport(via express), to all points of interest and to Atocha train station are all manageable. My wife and I stayed there for 6 nights and walked to most of the places we wanted to visit. Of course, T10 helps, as Richard suggested. This is definitely a right choice for us as an first-timer in Madrid. It's a wonderful experience for us!!

My wife & I had a very pleasant stay at this property! The location is great (near the triangle of museums, a number of jazz clubs, Metro stops, local shops for light groceries and restaurants) AND it's slightly off the beaten path so quiet. The stairs to the 3rd floor are quite manageable, the bed comfortable and the shower small but good pressure (hot water started dropping off at the end of the 2nd shower, so don't read a book it in). Highly recommended.

What you see from photos is exactly how the apartment is. Very clean. There were four of us women and we slept comfortably, the sofa bed opening to a double bed. Very strong, reliable wifi connection, a must for us. Location is great, close to Aston Martin metro stop and round the corner are stores where you'll find fruits, veggies, drinks, etc. And as Richard says, tons of restaurants around the area. Richard was there waiting for us considering we were over an hour late in arriving. He took time to show us the apartment and explain the general area where we are located. Apartment is on the 3rd/4th floor (US), a pain for us because we had heavy luggages, but definitely not a deal breaker. Would definitely recommend this apartment. Thanks for the stay Richard and for being understanding about those drinking glasses.

My daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights in August 2011. Although our flight was 40 mins late Richard (the owner) was waiting for us when we arrived. The apartment has everything you need and is very comfortable. It is within walking distance of a lot of sites in Madrid. We found a little bakery which we had our coffee and pastries every morning. We will definately stay here again. Thanks Richard.

nice vacation in historical Madrid

I have stayed for three weeks in August 2011. Everything was the way it had been described on the web-site. The apartment is well designed, and it is located in the central part of the historical city of Madrid. There is a bedroom, a lounge dinner (with a sofa), a bathroom (shower, sink, toilet) and a full kitchen. I could connect my laptop computer to the Internet, and I could use Skype all the time (24/7). In the kitchen everything worked as expected. The air-conditioning was effective and essential. For groceries, Carrefour Market is just a few minutes away. Next time I come to Madrid I will try again this apartment.

We chose this apartment both because of its location and the reviews it had received. It proved to be exactly what we wanted. The apartment itself is compact but we never felt overcrowded and it has everything you need. The air-co was effective and in July absolutely essential. We used the bedroom and the sofa bed, both of which were comfortable ( a suggestion is to put the duvet over the mattress of the sofa bed as there's a bit of a ridge in the middle otherwise. This worked perfectly and the sofa bed was very comfortable). We semi- rationed the hot water according to Richard's instructions but all 3 of us managed to shower without it running out. The place was clean, well-equipped and well maintained. Richard, the owner, as everyone else says, is extremely helpful and gave us some good suggestions - the O'baraquino, just up the road ( probably spelt that wrong) was great for lunch on our final day and cheap! The location was terrific. First impressions on arrival in the afternoon were that the area looked a little run down as most of the places around were closed for the afternoon with shutters down, most of which were covered in graffiti but come the evening when they opened again, the place was transformed -lively and vibrant. There are a couple of really friendly local bars, ideal for a nightcap on the way home. We felt safe in the area. Everything was within walking distance - Prado, Reina Sofia and botanic Gardens are 10-15 mins walk away, the Plaza Mayor, Palace and Cathedral - 20 minutes or so. would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and may indeed try to book again ( husband is now very keen to come back to Madrid after living here for a few years in the '70s) as it is the ideal base to experience much of what Madrid has to offer. Thanks, Richard, for helping make this a memorable trip.

Well Situated and Reasonably Priced

We stayed in the apartment in the fall of 2010. Overall, we found it a good place to stay. The biggest plus was the location. While our initial impression of the neighborhood was that it was somewhat run down, this was probably due to a fair amount of construction going on. The apartment is reasonably close to several subway stops and within easy walking distance of many restaurants and stores. For the more intrepid walkers, it is not that far for many tourist attractions. The other major plus is Richard Barrow, who was most helpful in providing information about getting around Madrid. When we arrived, he did not leave until we had asked, and gotten answers to, all of our questions. The apartment itself was very clean. It is small but given the reasonable price that is not surprising. The bed was comfortable, there was space to sit and read, and the kitchen had all the basics we needed. The only aspect of the smallness that was bothersome was the shower. You have to move very gingerly in it lest you bump into something.
