This is the perfect apartment for a visit to Madrid. Location-wise, it is outstanding. Everything worth seeing in central Madrid is within 15 mins walking distance. You can get to a metro within 5 mins and Atocha railway station (for a day trip outside Madrid) is within 10 mins. There are even a couple of good flamenco tablao’s within 5 mins. The apartment has been newly refurbished and is beautifully equipped with everything from an espresso machine to a dishwasher. We couldn’t take full advantage of the open patio since we were there in February, but it’s a great place to chill in the evening with a glass of wine. The apartment has air conditioning with both cooling and heating functions. Our host Carlos was very helpful and responsive. Since we arrived early, he kindly met us and looked after our baggage while we explored the vicinity until check-in time. He had also stocked up on a few basics (milk, cheese, wine). The only minor issue we had was the internet going down on our last evening but other than that it worked very well.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay at this apartment and look forward to coming back in the future.
