We had a great stay in Madrid. The location is very central, meaning you can walk anywhere. It’s about 7/8 minutes walk from some excellent tapas bars too where we ate every night. Very easy to walk to the shops too and browse all day. Everything is as per the photos, ie a very bright and airy apartment, with everything you could need. And those towels - so fluffy! Nice powerful shower too. Lots of little touches like umbrellas, an iron, some fresh fruit and wine all provided. Would highly recommend.
Some notable local highlights that we found and enjoyed:
- Helados Patagonia is some of the best ice cream ever
- Cass Hernanz does some amazing espadrilles at amazing prices
- Casa Lucas - go here, have a drink and have the pork with onions on bread. Juana La Loca - go here, have a drink and their tortilla espanol (best we’ve ever had).
- taking the scooters everywhere!
