The location of this apartment was perfect. It's within walking distance of the main hub especially Plaza Mayor (large cobbled square with restaurants and shops) which is a ten-minute walk. Though the apartment is small it is perfect for couples or single travelers. I traveled with my daughter and it was ideal for us (there's a double sofa bed in the living area). The apartment is in a lovely quiet street and we felt perfectly safe walking around Madrid. It's a family orientated city as well as being a vibrant cultural space.
