Sue M, Hong Kong, July 2015 Testimonials - Heaven on earth

We stayed here for one month and enjoyed it quite a bit. the owner is very kind to arrange someone to receive us on our late arrival at midnight. The apartment has excellent location in Salamanca district (which is one of the best residential district) and very close to metro. There are a lot of trendy cafes, restaurants, shops nearby. We enjoyed walking 5 minutes to the food and fruits market to buy fresh fruits. So fresh! The apartment is in old building with lots of characters. It is comfortable and cosy. the second bed room is particularly charming with a lot of sun light. the master bed is connected with the living room with a screen deciding it thus a little dark. The kitchen is really charming and specious. The juice maker and coffee pot make you feel very homy. It is quite pleasant to have a meal at the dining table in kitchen. The apartment is very well equipped (dish washer, wash machines all work well) for mid term stay. The only thing is that we experienced the hottest summer in Madrid this summer. The apartment does not have air con but the owner provided two fans. In the afternoon, the apartment can be quite hot, we normally have Spanish lessons in the school so that is ok. Later on, we did what the landlord told us to do i.e. to close the shuttles during the day and that keeps the place cooler for night time. over all, we had a very interesting and fun stay. The landlord is reachable all time via email and sms and very responsive. The door man of the building and his family are also very friendly and made our stay very enjoyable.
