- "We had a small studio called Stamp I on Costigo de San Martin, near the
Plaza San Martin and the Plaza Callao. We are 40 and 51, travel

What a great place! Great location - a pedestrian street in Old Madrid. Easy walking to the Royal Palace and Theater, to the Plaza del Sol and Plaza Mayor, to great shopping (grand luxury chains, small independent shops and designers, and the Rastro), the Museum Triangle, and to very good eating. We found some of the best food we have eaten anywhere, and some of the best small neighborhood bars for a drink and snack, all within a few blocks. There are many bus and Metro stops nearby, and it is very easy to catch a taxi on the Gran Via. The recently opened bookshop/cultural center LA Central Callao is almost right across the street (and has a very nice bistro and great selection of almost 70,000 book titles!). There are also numerous cines within a 5-10 minute walk, including Cine Ideal which often has films in their original language.
The place is surprisingly quiet - we hear some neighbors a few times, but no street noise (and we were there for New Year's Eve!). The design is very thoughtful - great use of small space, comfortable and visually interesting. The kitchen is very well furnished (including dish and laundry soap and some cleaning supplies if you stay long). There are at least 5 grocery shops within about 4 blocks, and a very nice wine shop just downstairs. The WiFi works well, and the apartment is very clean and safe.
Ximena, who we corresponded with, and Marine, who greeted us and helped us get oriented, were very professional and delightful.
We plan to return within the year, and hope to stay with Chic-Rentals again. If at all possible, we will stay in the same apartment. We saw the apartment next door, and it is just a lovely and well-designed, and would work very well for a family or group of friends travelling together."

- What did you like the most?
- "Location, location. This place is all about location. Right in the old
city center, closo to everything you'll want to see. I spend 4 days
without using any public transportation." - Is there anything you didn't like?
- "There were 3 things that I did not like, namely: 1 - No elevator. If you're travelling with large bags, it will be hard to climb 4 floors. For me it was ok, sinca I just had 1 small bag, but... 2 - You don't feel totally assured that the place is not a scam, since you have to pay 100% of the price, when arriving plus 200? deposit. I'm still waiting for the deposit back. Moreover, there is no one around when you leave the room, so you're never sure if they won't say you've broken something.. 3 - since you pay 40? for cleaning, one should expect to have a totally clean room. Yet, we didn't find that. The toilet was kind of dirty and the dishes were not properly clean. In short, that was the first and last time I rent an appartment in these terms."

- What did you like the most?
- "The location was perfect. Having a grocery store walking distance made it easy to stock up on supplies for living in an apartment. Everything is in walking distance and the apartment is fun, modern, and comfortable."
- Is there anything you didn't like?
- "The apartment should have had a broom or a small vacuum to be able to clean a little during our week stay. We also felt the floor was a little dirty upon arrival. But this was a minor detail overall."
