Great apartment in the heart of Madrid but quiet. Clean and comfortable plenty large enough for the 3 of us for 4 days (2 in the bedroom one on the fold out couch). The park outside doesn’t have any café’s in or around it, nor are there any on the street that we saw, so it was very quiet. Around the corner there are several Café’s and a Starbucks (if you must). With that said you are a 5 to 15 minute walk to almost all the central sites, museums and shopping. The subway is on the corner and there is a taxi stand next to the building, Uber also works well in Madrid. The apartment is in large more modern apartment building, with a front desk, which we first thought was going to be a negative but really worked out well. The apartment was on the 9th floor and the elevators worked great (there were 4). All the windows in the living room and bedroom open wide to let in the fresh air. You get a view of the park across the street, then the city, then the mountains beyond. Great view! Though there is no balcony you do not miss it. With all of the windows open the living room feels like it’s outside. The bathroom was big and clean and the bedroom had plenty of storage. I feel it would be a great place for an extended stay for 2 people. There is a washing machine but no dryer though things dried overnight on the supplied drying rack. Great place and great host!
