Pedro is likely the nicest man in Spain and made sure we found place and got settled easily. Great location and very comfortable. Only downside was 4 floor and no elevator, but historic district and not allowed to put one in apparently.
Excellent location to experience the best of Madrid! Pedro is always available to help if need be, and he goes out of his way to make your stay enjoyable.
As we were walking, with our bags, looking for the right place, Pedro came out to meet us. What a lovely welcome. The apartment is in a wonderful location, just behind Plaza Mayor. The apartment, is pretty, decorated with love. Pedro had graciously left a bottle of wine for us. the apartment had everything we needed, great location - near restaurants, supermarkets and all the sites we went to were in walking distance. Pedro is an outstanding host - ready to answer all our questions and offer useful tips.
Our stay was delightful in this beautiful property. It reflected the warmth of a home.
Pedro was the best host who attended to our every need.
The location was perfect!
We will remember this stay for a long time!
We both feel very privileged to have been able to share Pedro‘s family property. The location and view of the plaza was better than expected. We will definitely revisit this property next time we visit Madrid.
We loved Pedro's apartment. Pedro himself is very warm and welcoming, as is his home. We loved the personal details in the apartment and the view is amazing! Place was very clean and beds were comfortable. Yes, it is a long walkup but, to us, completely worth it. Location is excellent and yet quiet at night. We hope to stay again when we return to Madrid. Gracias, Pedro!
The thing everyone should understand about this place is that Pedro (the owner) is not just renting you a place to stay. He is welcoming you to his home where he grew up and will make sure he is there to help you carry bags up the stairs and show you every detail about the beautiful apartment.
Because he is also a tour guide, Pedro will give you tips and directions to everything you need to spend a magnificent time in Madrid.
We loved the whole experience.
Madrid is a very big city! Lots of people and I kind of compare it to New York City. But with more history. The apartment is in a perfect location in the old town and it was easy to get to the places that we wanted to see. The check in process was easy as we met the owner and he helped us carry some of our luggage up the steps. Two things that are important to consider about staying in the old town area is the age of the buildings. One needs to understand that there are quirks with these old buildings around the plumbing and such. The apartment was very acceptable for us and we just needed to get accustomed to the little things that we were normally able to do in modern places. This is the whole point to staying in a more traditional residence when traveling. Overall, we enjoyed our time in Madrid and may get back there some time down the road.

Great location, great host, some problems
The location was fantastic. The host was friendly and helpful, and even helped us bring luggage up the stairs. That was greatly appreciated. You simply couldn’t beat the location. There are a few improvements/suggestions I would make. The double bed in one room was so hard. It was like sleeping on a door. Caused us horrible back pain. We switched to the two twin beds in the second bedroom (the hard bed didn’t seem bother our son in his 20s). However, these weren’t great as they were too soft. You couldn’t flush toilet paper down the toilet so you had to empty a dustbin every day. Not a big deal but would’ve been nice to know in advance. Lots of dust in the apartment and hair from previous guests. The bathroom also needs some serious cleaning and grout work to make it top notch. All in all, not a bad place to stay if you’re not picky about your bed and overall details.
We stayed four nights here hosted by Pedro who was not only communicative through VRBO but also with me directlu upon our arrival in Madrid. He was at the apartment to welcome us. The apartment is on the 4th floor so you need to carry your luggage up and down the stairs. The apartment has a wondeful open view over the Plaza de la Provincia with the associated sounds of the streets and the aromas of the restaurant below. The French doors also house the portable airconditioner which worked well enough on the warmer days. The apartment was comfortable and the Wifi and bathroom worked well. The beds were fine although a bit thinner than we are used to. We did not use the kitchen to cook. We particularly liked the authentic styling and original touches of this home and with its separate bedrooms and living space, there is room to spread out. We had some rainshowers when we first arrived and watching from the balcony was excellent to see them sweeping across the rooftops. Being close to the Plaza Mayor (25 m away), there is enough hustle and bustle late into the evening but the noise was manageable and the mornings are quiet. This location is also very close to all kinds of food, drink and just a few minutes to several sights. Recommended when staying in Madrid and Pedro was an outstanding host.
Pedro met us at the property and gave us a lovely welcome and orientation. We loved staying in a central location and found the apartment to be very comfortable. It was really neat to stay in a place with a lot of history , and loved the colors/decor in the apartment. Will definitely return next time we are in Madrid. Thanks Pedro!
We really enjoyed our stay. Pedro was such a charming host and carried our very heavy bag up to the apartment. The location is perfect, the beds were comfortable, the temperature was nice and cool during some very hot days in Madrid, and there was plenty of space for us to enjoy family time. We did not mind the four flights of stairs, but we walk and hike regularly. It was also easy to catch a taxi out front. We really enjoyed looking down at all the action from the balcony. Thank you Pedro!
We enjoyed a wonderful 5 nights in this apartment next to the Plaza Major. Pedro was a welcoming host and gave us several recommendations for food & drinks in the neighborhood. We’re looking forward to returning some day to explore more of Madrid. Muchas Gracias!!
Right next to Plaza Mayor and walking distance of so much more. This flat was perfect for my 18 year old daughter and me. We hit Madrid all day and the came back to this comfortable flat at night where we could watch Madrid go to sleep from the balcon.

Perfect location, has everything you might need
The apartment is located in a spectacular location in the center of the city, allowing you to walk to pretty much any place of interest without any hassle. The apartment itself was cozy, and generously stocked with food provided by the owner. We had no major complaints with it. If we ever visit Madrid again we will definitely stay here.
Pedro was an excellent host. He greeted us when we arrived, and he helped us move our things upstairs, answer our questions, and settle in. The apartment is perfectly located around the corner from Plaza Mayor. Thank you!
We all loved Pedros apartment,
Perfect location. So central and comfortable
He is a great host .
We rented lime scooters outside the door.
We had a great time.
Highly reccommend
