This apartment is in a terrific location, easy walking distance to Retiro Park and several museums. It's quiet and the neighborhood is both pleasant and lively—there are several nice places right downstairs where you can get a glass of wine, a grocery store a short walk away. The owners had some very good recommendations for restaurants. Also, the mattresses on the beds were some of the best we have stayed on. Potential guests should know that the apartment does not have a view except into the courtyards of the building, as it is in one of the classically older Madrid buildings. Also, there is not much storage space for suitcases and clothes. But we are happy we stayed here, as the owners were kind and responsive, and it was a great spot from which to enjoy the city.
