Alfonso un ser excepcional

The apartment was cuter than its pictures online, Juan Alphonso was a great host. The thing I couldn't tell beforehand was that it was over a nightclub. I arrived on a Saturday and the noise in the street went on until morning. There were people in the narrow street reveling all night. The next two nights were much better but still noisy. As we were leaving, men came to install new more sound proof windows. Hope they are effective.

Location was perfect very close to popular areas and restaurants. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The only downside to this place is that it’s above a popular nightclub so if you plan on sleeping I’d HIGHLY recommend ear plugs The owner of the apartment was very nice and friendly. Overall a great time.

I liked the apartment! Very clean. Nicely decorated. Great location, few min walk to everything interesting! The reason for giving 4 starts (and not 5): 1) it is 1st floor (one above ground) on narrow street with pub just on opposite side. Noisy. During October warm weekend nights till ~3:30am, on Monday night only till ~1am. Didn't disturb me or my family. We were so tired browsing Madrid streets & museums, so we just fall asleep. But light sleepers might consider bringing ear plugs. 2) Juan is really nice person. After meeting him (for keys) we easily could understand each other, using google translator. But initially there was a moment, when we arrived to the mentioned address (taxi, suitcases), I'm calling the provided cell# staying on the street, and answering person doesn't speak English. That was easily solved (and compensated by cup of great hot chocolate, many thanks!) after he stepped out toward us, but I had a moment thinking "where to go with family & suitcases in Madrid in that afternoon hour". If you speak basic Spanish - shouldn't be a problem at all. Suggestion to Juan: please give a little better explanation to renters where/how to find you! 3) Another suggestion to Juan: a) please check the front building door key. Sometimes it took me time to open. Probably should be replaced. b) please sharp the kitchen knives. I couldn't cut lemon & tomato. Overall - we had great time in Madrid and liked the apartment. Location is unbeatable! With just couple easy touches Juan might make it from "very good" to "perfect". I'll stay here again.

L'appartement est très confortable et très bien situé en plein centre de Madrid ce qui permet une découverte de la ville sans utiliser de moyens de transport. Juan, le propriétaire est très accueillant et sympathique. Nous sommes très contents de notre séjour avec un petit bémol cependant: quartier très animé la nuit, donc boules quiès indispensables!

Hemos estado dos noches cuatro personas. El apartamento es tal como aparece en las fotos, pequeñito pero muy bien aprovechado, muy confortable y con todo lo que puedas necesitar. Las camas tanto la de la habitación como la del sofá—cama, muy cómodas. La situación es excelente, para visitar el centro de Madrid o ir de museos. Si hubiera q señalar alguna pega, diría q el ruido de la calle de madrugada al acercarse el fin de semana, pero es algo inevitable si quieres estar en el centro. Mención aparte se merece Alfonso y su mujer. Muy atentos con nosotros desde incluso antes de llegar. Por cierto, el chocolate con churros del "Chocolat Madrid" exquisitos. Gracias Alfonso.

Aside from the street noise at night, the apartment is perfect. The location is right in the center of the city with easy access to so many places by walking or a quick metro ride. The apartment is well equipped. The owner was super easy to work with and flexible.
