Fabulous Find in Madrid!
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
My family and I just returned from a fabulous vacation in Madrid, thanks in large part to Ramon's wonderful apartment. The apartment itself is beautifully done, modern and clean - it is clear that Ramon took exceptional care with all of the details.
The apartment is located on Calle Cadiz, which is closed to traffic, and is lined with tapas bars, shops and restaurants. The large windows in the living room of the apartment overlook the street, and the energy is wonderful, but due to the design of the windows, the apartment actually gets very little noise. The bedrooms are on the opposite side of the apartment, very quiet, and have very comfortable beds, lots of storage space, and beautiful bathrooms. Everything looks brand new, and the apartment has everything - air conditioning throughout (definitely necessary in August), stove, dishwasher, washer-dryer, double refrigerator.
The apartment is so conveniently situated - right in the center of Madrid. It is only a block away from the Puerto del Sol metro station, and only a 15 minute walk to the Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen museums, in one direction, and from the Plaza Mayor, in the other direction. It is also only a 15-20 minute walk (or just a few metro stops) to the main train station, (where we took the Ave high speed train to Barcelona and Sevilla injust 2 1/2 hours).
Ramon is an excellent host; he made everything very easy . We communicated via email to make and confirm the reservation; he met us when we arrived in Madrid , saw us off at the end of our stay, and provided a host of materials and maps relating to things to do and places to see, and made himself available to answer questions.
I definitely hope to stay here again and will certainly recommend it to friends.
