Wonderful small apartment close to Old Town Madrid sites. Check in was easy. Only small downside was bathroom on first floor and bedroom on second floor. Happy there is a motion activated light for stairs!
This little gem was perfect accommodations for my daughter and I. We were able to have separate sleeping areas. The kitchen was perfect for making a meal or just reheating leftovers. Bathroom and shower were excellent space… again to share with another person. The host were absolutely attentive to our questions and very welcoming. I would go backs next visit to Madrid.

Molly and her daughter have been perfect guests in every way.
It will be a pleasure to welcome you back if you decide to return another time.
Elena and Luisa were wonderful hosts, providing everything I needed during my nearly three months at this centrally located apartment. When I found the cooking knives dull, they provided me with a sharpener and even a new chef's knife. The apartment is a short (10-12 minutes) walk from Plaza Mayor, El Parque Nacional del Retiro, and Museo del Prado. Other museums are even closer. the Lavapies neighborhood is bohemian and reminiscent of New York's West Village. I could go on, but you get the idea. The only negative was the occasional noise on what is a mostly quiet street. But, the apartment is in the city's center so a bit of that is to be expected. Can't recommend this place highly enough

Beautiful little apartment in the heart of the city.
My wife and enjoyed staying in this very well appointed and situated apartment. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet off the Main Street apartment in the middle of the action
We found the apartment well located to visit nearby museums and to discover excellent local restaurants. At the end of a day of sight-seeing, we were always glad to return to our comfortable apartment, with its charming decor. We thank the owner for her help during our stay. We highly recommend this rental property.
Everything was sparkling clean. The kitchen was very well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. Most places you’d want to see were in walking distance. The hostvwas very helpful. We had a great time.

VERY NICE GUESTS ! Excellent communication, so clean and respectful with the house. It will be a great pleasure to welcome you again.
Highly recommended.
We had the best time. Elena, the owner, is an absolute delight. Very helpful and easy to communicate. The place is small but perfect for 2 people, very close to all major attractions. Supermarket is close by, so we had breakfasts at home, and even managed to cook dinner once or twice. Highly recommend!
I’ve rented several Vrbo properties and have never had a property as well equipped as this one. Especially if your learning to cook Spanish dishes, everything is there. Your close to everything and in a real Spanish neighborhood. You probably will be the only tourist. The neighbors are welcoming. Don’t miss La Lorenza restaurant about 100 feet away. Casual and delicious.
We enjoyed our first visit to Spain (Madrid) from the US, and this apartment was a great size and location for our 3-adult family. It had everything we needed, was centrally located so we never went underground to use the subway, and was quiet and comfortable. Host was helpful and responsive at all times. Definitely recommend!

Perfectly located property with great access to Parque del Retiro, Museo Reina Sofia and other iconic places, landmarks. Quiet and relaxing but only steps to highly energetic areas of Madrid. Comfortable, very clean, with excellent attention to details. Host was incredibly gracious and attentive.
apartment was exactly as pictures show, it had everything you could need during your stay. super close to 24hr supermarket, restaurants, 3 metro stations and tourist sites. Property Manager was super nice and checked in several times during our stay to see how things were and to see if we had any questions. A++++++

The apartment was exactly as listed. Elena was waiting for us when we arrived and had plenty of information about local shopping, attractions etc. on hand, including a map. The apartment was clean and well provisioned - including kitchen basics and cookware. Communication (via Whatsapp) was excellent. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

Well stocked kitchen with utensils, spices, toaster, kettle, microwave. Wash able to prepare a few meals and wash some laundry. Location was excellent, walking distance to shopping, museums, transportation, and restaurants. Shower was tiny for my 6’3 husband, but that’s common in Europe and we would stay there again. No issues checking in early as we arrived mid morning.
It was what we expected! The attention to details was exceptional. Elena had provided a lot of info where to eat and what ti visit.
I would say in our 4 week trip the host was the most equipped as far as kitchen and barhroom.
Thank you Elena super job!

So impressed with apartment!!
This apartment is amazing. I love the decor and it has everything you will need for your stay. It's location is ideal. It's within walking distance to many popular sites and to Atocha station. It's also a very "artsy" part of town; many museums, art studios, dance studios, music conservatory. I loved it here and the owners are very attentive to your needs and extremely friendly. I want to go back!!!
