Great apartment in a cool local neighborhood. The apartment was close to 2 public transit lines that can get you to all the tourist areas in the city, as well as the Atocha station. Lots of nearby restaurants as well as. Supermarket. The main attractions ( Plaza Mayor, El Retiro Park) were also all undear a 20 minute walk, which was great for exploring the surrounding neighborhoods. Francisco was quick to respond to questions and offered suggestions for our first trip to Madrid. The only downside was that the shower only had enough hot water for about 20 minutes, and took a couple of hours to reheat. This made showering for 2 difficult, and one had to shower at night and the other in the morning. Otherwise it was a great space with a comfy bed.
