We loved our week in Carlos’ apartment!
A great location, on a small plaza ringed by cafes, in middle of central Madrid.
In the surrounding plazas and cobblestone streets you’ll find literally hundreds of cafes, restaurants and tabernas. There are supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies and wine stores.
It’s within easy walking distance to the 3 major art galleries (Prado, Reina Sofia, and Thyssen-Bornemisza), Plaza Mayor, the beautiful El Retiro Park, and the shopping district around Puerta del Sol.
If you’re looking to go a bit further taxis are always in Plaza de Santa Ana, 100m away, buses and the Madrid Metro are within a block.
The layout is ideal for families - a bedroom in each corner, 3 of them have modern ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen is also modern and fully equipped. And having a washing machine really helps :)
The apartment was immaculate when we arrived, the beds are new (a bit firm) and the linens are crisp. The management company is very good - communication is easy and instant via WhatsApp, and they are extremely helpful.
One caution - if you have mobility issues you should know that it’s a 2 story walk up, no elevator.
If you are looking for an inner city retreat in the middle of Madrid, this apartment should be on your list.
