Have to agree with Shawn. I think we've stayed there a few more times ( pre lift !)and have never been disappointed.

It should be noted that Chueca is very good for Shoe and Handbag shopping !!

As an aside MadridMan, shame we couldn't meet up.
We ate at Vivares twice and went with Antonio to the bar/restaurant La Bardemcilla, owned by actor Javier Bardems family. Very reasonable cost wise and great ambience.
