This apartment was situated about 5 minutes from the subway lines and we found it easy to get to Madrid Center in about 25-30 minutes. The home had a nice pool area, an elevator and there was a lot of places to shop and eat with in walking distance. It was not near all the tourist locations which is actually very refreshing because it was quiet, felt safe and was more relaxing. We had been traveling through Europe and this was definitely one of the most comfortable places we stayed. The shower is small but the water pressure was good. The thing that was really convenient was they had drinks, snacks, shampoo, conditioner and detergent for the washing machine so even if you arrived at night you were okay till you can shop the following day.
