We stayed here for 2 nights at the second leg of our stay in Madrid after returning from Barcelona. We stayed 4 nights at another Minty managed apartment during our first stay in Madrid.
The apartment is convenient to everything. It’s about 5 minutes walking distance from Plaza Mayor and Mercado San Miguel and 5 minutes from Puerta del Sol. This is an unbelievable location. There are two taxi stands around the square— one because of a hotel. You can also use the Free Now app to request a taxi.
There is a Corte Ingles shopping mall at Puerta del Sol. It’s confusing but the shopping market is located in the sub level of the mall. We stocked up on all of our essentials for the stay. The prices were incredible there. Also, the apartment doesn’t come with wash cloths so be sure to bring some if that is important to you.
This apartment is located on the Plaza Santa Anna square. The square is pretty and lively. It’s great to people watch from your balcony and enjoy the sounds of Madrid. The windows have excellent sound proofing so the sounds won’t bother you during the day. Yet one of the bedrooms faces the street so I wouldn’t give that room to a light sleeper. Also at night light sleepers may hear voices at downstairs restaurant.
We enjoyed our stay. The communication with Minty was excellent — their messaging platform works well and gives you timely responses.
The listing for the apartment is completely accurate. Here are some additional highlights:
Modern appliances including combination washer and dryer which worked great. (You’ll need to purchase or bring your own detergent.)
3 good sized bedrooms and bathrooms.
Excellent central air conditioning.
Extremely clean apartment.
Nice restaurants around Plaza Santa Anna.
Madrid al Cubo has unique souvenirs and is only a few blocks from the apartment.
Mistura on way to Plaza Mayor or at Plaza Mayor serves great ice cream smd sorbet.
Again, this is a great apartment. Enjoy.
