This is an ideal location in the central region of Madrid, with easy access to major art museums, botanical garden and an enormous, world-class city park. There is easy, safe walking to countless venues including shopping and restaurants; there is an abundance of large and small boutiques, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The apartment is comfortable and it was easy to spend a week here, with lots left to do on our next visit. The building itself is old, full of character and well maintained. It is a walk-up, so be prepared to carry your bags over stairs that have seen a lot of feet. The building is secure from the street and has a modern, secure door to the room. The internet is high-speed and easy to connect to and the rooms have plenty of plug-ins for charging devices. We would go back to this place again.
