“Madrid's roofs from a unique perspective :-)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at Plaza Mayor Deluxe apartment for almost a week and what an amazing place!. We felt like locals every time we pulled out the key to open the main door of such a fantastic historical great location". We didn't use the kitchen facilities at all just because we were surrounded by so many places to eat. We had breakfast almost every morning in the "Museo del Jamon" and at the bakery just at the corner of calle Mayor and Puerta del Sol. But we specially enjoyed the Mercado de San Miguel, very nice atmosphere. The flat itself is the attic floor of a building built about 400 years ago ordered by Felipe III, who´s monument is in the middle of the square, Plaza Mayor, probably Madrid´s most famous square. It is a very large one bedroom apartment with views to both, plaza Mayor and a side street. The views from the side street were just breathtaking. I imagined my self being an artist, a bohemian soul back in the period enjoying the sunrise and sunset lights reflected on the roof of madrid. The tiles of the roofs, their alignment, just blowed my mind away. Anyway, about the apartment: very sunny, lots of windows, in perfect condition, clean, safe, elevator, internet, wooden floors, large living room and dining space, great bedroom with views to the square with a balcony to step outside. This place has a lot of magic!. We were thrilled when we opened the door to the apartment and saw that this place was going to be our home for a week!. We highly recommend this place.

“Luxury location and space, other aspects poor”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2009

We stayed in aprtment 5B for 3 nights, and Angelica who checked us in was excellent with perfect English. The location of the apartment is superb if you want to be in the absolute centre of the city. Overlooking a very busy square it is perfect for people watching - [as long as you don't mind climbing out of the dormer window], and the double glazing really does shut out the sound at night.
However....only one plug for the bath, bidet and washbasin, non-working air conditioning - or more precisely it would only blow out warm air in temperatures of 28c or more - horrible cheap pillows [one per person ] and no underblanket on the bed made this feel more like very cheap accomodation rather than the luxury standard claimed.
It is such a shame that they have skimped on minor items because the space and furniture are absolutely superb, and you feel you could really live there, if only there were enough plugs, decent pillows etc

“Great base for exploring Madrid”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2009

person found this review helpful

This place couldn't be in a better spot. very central. Quiet at night though. Great spot to explore the city from.

We ran an hour later than our predicted arrival time so missed the check-in agent and had to call the agent to come back and meet us. No extra cost though.. Def recommend it for 2-5 people

“Magical Location and Beautiful Apartment!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2009
2
people found this review helpful

There is no better location than this.. We stayed there (2 of us) for a long weekend and felt like not leaving the apartment!! The sunny floods into the bedroom each morning and the magical sounds of the historic Plaza Mayor fill the apartment. It's heaven.. I would be happy to stay in a shoe-box for that location but it was actually a huge apartment and we wished we had friends with us. It was nice and clean, the bathroom was huge with double basins, and large separate bath to the shower (a must!) and cosy central heating combined with double-glazed windows. Highly recommended - I've already had a string of friends go and stay!!
