The apartment location was absolutely perfect. My husband and I only had a day and a half to visit museums and see as much of Madrid as we could. We walked everywhere from the apartment, Thyssen, Prado and the Sophia are all within a few minutes walk. Retiro Park is just on the other side of the Prado and we had great intentions of running there our last day. There are several metro stops near the apartment, we used Seville to get to and from the airport. Madrid has the most user friendly metro I've ever seen. Helena met us on our second day and gave me recommendations for shopping, and checked in to ensure we saw the list of recommendations she left in the apartment. Would choose to stay here on our next trip to Madrid.
