Gran Via Alaia Seasonal Living

Very good location. Very clean appartment. We spent a lovely stay in Madrid !

Sweet apartment in the middle of everything, only a few steps from Gran Via Metro. We walked everywhere - plazas, museums, restaurants, palace, shopping and more. Very clean and nicely renovated and decorated. Plenty of space for two adults. Three floors of stairs to climb but the building has a lift. Secure and safe building and area. We were two females and never felt unsafe walking around the area or in the apartment building. The walls must be well insulated because we never heard our neighbors or people above us. However, the street noise can get pretty loud. Granted we were there the week of New Years, so there were a lot of people out and about. We struggled with the noise from the trash pickup crew that occurred every night between midnight and 3 am. But if you are a heavy sleeper or can use ear plugs, you will definitely love being so close to everything. The hosts are wonderful and very accommodating. They provided great recommendations. Very cozy, clean, and comfortable apartment.

Rosa and Oscar as hosts could not have been better or more helpful. Met us at end of the street and gave a very thorough briefing on the apartment and Madrid. When the coffeemaker broke they had a brand new one there that day with coffee. Place is large BD we’ll equipped everything is no more than 20 min away and major metro stop is 2 min. Only thing about being so close to center is that weekends are noisy till 5 am and if a light sleeper might be troublesome.

Host met us at the property and showed us how everything worked. Gave us maps and lots of great suggestions. They were easy to get hold of and very responsive. The apartment is small, but has most everything you need. There is a fair amount of noise, being in the city center. The large old windows do a pretty good job blocking out the noise for sleeping purposes. AC works well. The area is a great location to get almost anywhere in central Madrid. Furnishings were fairly comfortable.
