The apartment is very central - right near Sol metro. It is well located to access the fabulous shops and restaurants in Sol and is a very easy and short walk to Plaza Mayor and all that this lively area offers. The street life is amazing - buskers and so much to see and do within walking distance. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you need to relax after a day exploring the city. The San Miguel markets are a short walk and these have so much to eat and drink under one roof - and have extended opening hours. There are so many restaurants and cafes that you may not want to cook at home but the kitchen is well equipped and there is a large dining space in the main living area. There is a lovely little terrace off the kitchen to give you some outdoor space. The apartment is quiet and protected from any noise from Calle Arenal. For those with dietary restrictions, try Café Celicioso in C. de Hortaleza. The opera is close by at Teatro Real - definitely a must! This apartment is a great base from which to explore the delights of Madrid.
