The perfect place from which to discover and explore old Madrid! In the middle of a lively, friendly neighborhood full of cafés and bars, the apartment is also within easy walking of the Prado and the Reina Sofia, the Atocha train station, the barrio de las letras, the Plaza Mayor, and the Gran Via. The immediate surroundings are beautiful and endlessly fascinating. And apart from all the great cafés, tapas bars and restaurants close by, there are also places to buy bread, fruit & vegetables, wine, cheese , meat, and fish, and just about anything else you may need, all within a block or two. The apartment itself is very comfortable, immaculately clean, and fully equipped. It is on a tranquil, traffic-free side street, so it's very quiet, in spite of the bustling nightlife of La Latina. And most important of all, José and Maria are very friendly and helpful. They oriented me on arrival and gave me some great suggestions about places I might never have discovered on my own. Highly recommended!
