You simply cannot find a better location in Madrid Centro. Within steps of your front door is everything you could possibly want.
There are literally hundreds of tapas bars, restaurants and every type of shop you can imagine within a quarter mile. Across the street there’s a great grocery store with super friendly, helpful owners.
We were there 21 days. We took a cab twice. Everything you will want to see is within short walking distance.
The apartment is on the third floor. It has a working elevator. Be careful because many accommodations fail on this necessity. The space is much bigger than the photos reflect. We really liked the true KING bed which is also rare for Europe. The kitchen is not equipped for any serious cooking, but why would you want to? Happily it has a great refrigerator and freezer.
There is also a good clothes washer, but you dry on a rack. The furnishings are more IKEA than Four Seasons but we found it very comfortable. The TV is a modern flat screen, but it could use at least one channel in English.
Most particularly, the hostess Yolanda was very cooperative and pleasant. She even arranged a complete cleaning and linen change midway in our stay and was on top of our every request.
All of this said, the apartment is undeniably the ideal location to easily explore the best of Madrid.
