My roommate and I rented this apartment for six months while studying in Madrid and it met all of our needs perfectly! It’s space efficient and it had all the amenities we were looking for, like a nice TV, dishwasher and washing machine. The windows and balcony also let in tons of sunlight, making all the rooms very bright and the laundry dried quickly. Also, there is no building directly across from the apartment so we had lots of privacy and there’s nice green space. Like all the buildings in the city, the walls were a little thinner than we were used to, but it didn’t cause any problems. The location was ideal; Arguelles is a safe, quiet neighborhood very close to good shopping and nightlife and a short walk to the Parque del Oeste and Plaza de España. Commuting was easy; the apartment is less than a five minute walk to the Arguelles metro stop, which has lines 2, 4, and 6 and gets you everywhere you’d want to go in the city. Vicente the doorman was also a huge plus to this apartment. He’s an incredibly friendly guy and will help you with whatever you need. He is nearly always at the front of the building and makes it feel especially safe and cared for. Luisa the landlady is always available and will return your emails and calls promptly, regardless of the time of day. She keeps the apartment updated and in the condition of a hotel room. She was incredibly nice and understanding and was extremely helpful in our transition to the city and the apartment. Muchísimas gracias otra vez por toda tu ayuda, espero que el tiempo en Madrid sea más caliente y que todo está bien. Un abrazo, Sara

El estudio es precioso, a tan solo 2 minutos del metro Ventura Rodríguez y 5 minutos del metro Plaza de España. Aunque es pequeño, está perfectamente distribuido y cuenta con todas las comodidades. Está situado en el centro de Madrid, cerca y accesible de todo. El barrio es precioso y bohemio, cuenta con cines, bares y restaurantes. Ha sido una experiencia única, y espero poder repetirla en un futuro. Es importante recalacar la profesionalidad y amabilidad de Luisa y su equipo…abrieron sus corazones para hacer mi estadía en el piso una para recordar. Quizá el único punto en contra son los 4 pisos que hay que subir andando, pero bueno, una vez te acostumbras te sientes aún mejor cuando llegas a casa.. 🙂

Muuuchas gracias por todo!!!!

El estudio es super cómodo, bien distribuido pues a pesar de los 25 mts tiene espacio para lo que uno realmente necesita. De día está super iluminado, pero si se quiere dormir hasta tarde se baja la «cortina» metálica y ni un rayo de luz!, y con el aire acondicionado no se pasa calor! La calle es movida, pero sin bullicios que molesten. La ubicación es excepcional, estaciones de metro a sólo 5 minutos caminando y Moncloa a 12 minutos, por lo que se puede llegar a cualquier parte de Madrid muy fácil! Siendo extranjera se me hizo muy sencillo ubicarme. A solo pasos se tiene un SuperSol para comprar alimentos, y si se quiere más variedad, caminas unos 8 minutos más y llegas al Corte Inglés de Princesa. Hay cine a 1 minuto, parque, bares. Lo único no tan cómodo son los cuatro pisos que hay que subir sin elevador, pero realmente es un piso excelente y super agradable! Bueno Luisa, espero que te sirva pues realmente la pasamos excelente en Madrid! Un beso grande para ti!!! Virginia Andrade. Mexico

Would go back in a heartbeat!

I lived in this apartment for 9 months (2010/2011) when I was working at a Spanish primary school in Madrid. I loved it–I have so many great memories of the apartment and the neighborhood. It was quiet, clean, cute and convenient. I felt like every request I had was handled immediately. When I come back to Spain I always stay in one of Charming Rent’s apartments.

Thank you very much…I have really really felt like home.

I hope to have another opportunity to come back in Madrid, but for a long time. Madrid is an amazing city and in this case, for sure I will contact you. Do you have also opportunity to rent an apartment for the week end? For sure me and my girlfriend will come back soon in Madrid. Thank you very much to you, Luisa and Florinela for everything. Grazie mille! Un saludo

This apartment turned out to be much more than expected! So much more, that we extended our stay. Its’ appointments and location could not be matched by any hotel. Upon entry we were met by Luisa, who was as Charming as her apartments. She is hands-on and knows very well each rental unit and the neighborhoods surrounding them (from shops to recreation). Much to my benefit, Luisa is fluent not only in Spanish, but English and French as well. We were welcomed into an airy, open space, bathed in sunlight. All of the comforts packed into this studio apartment including a functional kitchen, bathroom with full-sized tub(!), washing machine, tv/dvd, and convertible sofa/bed were only improved by the nice touches promised by the website: juices, wafers, marmalade, etc., kitchen utensils, linens and lovely candles and soaps. Everything needed to settle in was already in place. This particular apartment is close to shopping, Gran Via in one direction and Calle Princesa in the other; cinemas, including 3 V.O. cinemas just 2 minutes away; recreation, Moncloa and Pintor Rosales within minutes; a metro station; and nightlife in any direction, depending on your mood. Charming rents are truly charming. They really are as nice as the photos. Not only would we recommend them, we would stay again! Happy Travels, Stacey Pennington & Thierry Meresse.

This apartment is located in one of the best places in the downtown area. It is walking distance to every main location and is only a few blocks from most of the major metro stops. The place is clean, quiet, yet on a block that is always vibrant with life. On the block, there are 3 grocery stores, a cheese market, fresh produce and fresh butchered meats and many fun restaurants. I would recommend this place to anyone that can make it up the stairs without elevator assistance. Thank you CharmingRents!

I had a great experience during 6 months, the apartment has a strategic position near the metro station, you can head to sol in 3 stations or you can enjoy a great walk through plaza espana and gran via (20/25min). During night Time you can enjog the calm of Martin de los heros. Concercing food shopping, there are 2 supermarkets in front of the building (DIA and Super Sol). Full equiped, you will just need to open your luggage and enjoy your new flat! The plus are: free wifi and a housekeeper Who comes twice a month.

Great charming apartment with the origial wood beams and columns! Roomy with a functioal kitchen. Location is great with two grocery stores and a convenience store within 1 minute of walk. Metro station is one block away and Plaza de Espana 2 blocks away. Palacio Real and Gran Via are both within 15 minute walk. It was on a residential street that you can experience the local Madrid but attractions are not far from it. The refrigerator was stocked with a jug of cold water and juice boxes when we arrived in a hot Madrid afternoon. Luisa was away from the city, nonetheless, she sent me an email during the stay to ensure everything was ok. It was a great experience! Julio 2013.

Alquilé este departamento y fue una acertada decisión. La zona es muy cómodo, hay muchas tiendas cerca, farmacias, supermercados y sitios donde comer. El metro se encuentra a sólo 100 metros. Frente al edificio no hay edificios altos y el sol entra por las ventanas, es muy luminoso. El departamento, en cuanto a electrodomésticos, se encuentra bien equipado con cocina por inducción y horno eléctrico, lavavajillas, heladera y congelador, televisor, servicio de wifi, lavarropas, aire acondicionado, tostadora y microondas. Si bien hay otras posibilidades más económicas en la zona, el estado de electrodomésticos, muebles, toallas y sábanas es excelente y también me gustaría destacar la buena predisposición, amabilidad y ayuda que están dispuestos a dar sus dueños. Mi valoración es altamente positiva y volvería a alquilar este departamento. Lo recomiendo sin lugar a dudas!
