Minimalist apartment means spacious though rather cold and uncomfortable. Loved the elevated bath, glass-enclosed shower, and well-stocked kitchen. The sofa is not very comfortable to sit on and there are no armchairs so this is not a place you'll want to hang out in for lengthy periods of time. But as a launching pad for exploring central Madrid this is the place...only a few blocks and you're in the historic center of the city, close also to the main museums. Parking is about 10 minute walk to an underground public parking facility that costs about 30 euros/day. Navigating the streets of central Madrid is very challenging...knowing how to use google maps or other apps is essential. Otherwise, you may end up going around in circles for hours.
