Kristian's place is in a great location for seeing the major sites of central Madrid. The apartment was clean and well-equipped overall, and Kristian responded promptly any time we had a question. The only snag was the struggle to open the apartment lock at times. Took a practiced touch! Recommended for anyone who wants to be within walking distance of the Plaza Mayor, Palacio Real, Prado, etc.
For good coffee, freshly squeezed juice, and a light breakfast, we recommend the "Corner Cafe" on the way to the Plaza Mayor. Pablo is the barista.
