Without a doubt the BEST location for staying in Madrid. We went there for our honeymoon and stayed three days at this apartment, before traveling to Barcelona. This was also our first Air B&B experience.
Luz was a great hostess and thought of everything. Her communication was exceptional. Little touches like the milk, crackers, fruit, coffee, and bottle of wine were really appreciated, especially after our long day of travel!
The apartment has a central location within walking distance to everything. As we always do when traveling to a new city, we took time to get a bird's eye view of the city, first using the local tourist bus, in this case, the Madrid City Tour Bus. Luz's apartment is right across the street from one of the stops.
From the apartment, you can walk right to the Plaza del Sol area, going in and between the various streets and its great shops and restaurants. If you get a multiple day pass on the tour bus, or just via taxi, or littel longer walk, you can then explore the rest of the city, including its historical sites, including the Retiro Park, the Prado Museum etc.
