This place is as central as you can possibly get in Madrid. Steps from Plaza Mayor, a quick walk to Sol, and right near some very good restaurants and tapas bars in the Cava Baja/Cava Alta/La Latina area. It doesn’t get any better.
Tip to remember: 5 flights of stairs with no elevator is no joke, but the owner was kind enough to carry my bag up for me on the first day, which I thanked him for again and again.
Right downstairs is a perfect breakfast spot with an outdoor terrace, open all day for beer and refreshments as well. Truly a perfect location.
The WiFi was a little spotty, but we encountered this issue all over Madrid. Really, I had no problem disconnecting for a while. TV works great, if you plan on watching.
The apartment is small, clean, modern, and has everything you could possibly need (including a wash machine, fridge, cook top, A/C).
I would stay here again.
