This apartment is an Old World gem. The location is right in the heart of the most vibrant and active part of Madrid. Easy access to all transportation and a huge number of restaurants and bars. The apartment was clean, quiet, and very beautiful. On 4th floor but there is an elevator. Andres was there to meet us when we arrived and was friendly and hospitable. If you want a nice place to stay in Madrid, I would start here. And of course, there is the view of the Palace which is just as spectacular as the photos. No car traffic, but the sound of people conversing below.
