We chose this apartment for it's proximity to the Prado museum. It suited our needs perfectly. One thing was that it was remarkable was that the apartment stayed so cool even when it got very warm during the day (37˚ C/ 98˚ F). We kept the shades down and the windows closed when we left during the day and never felt the need for even a fan, let alone any air conditioning. In fact, I had to wear a sweater in the morning because it was so cool in June. I actually wanted to OPEN the window during the day to warm the place up. I say this because I wouldn't want anyone to be deterred from staying here in June without airconditioning. The walls are thick and I believe that is why it stays so cool.

The apartment was charming, clean and comfortable with plenty of closet space if you need to stay a while and like to hang your things. She has added a table and chairs since the photos were taken. The kitchen has a spacious refridgerator and plates and utensils a few pots for basic, simple cooking. There are restaurants, produce stores and bars within a block or two and it is only a few blocks from the Calle de Atocha which is lively and full of shops and restaurants. We had a little trouble communicating at the beginning but Rosario was very kind. I am sorry I did not get to meet Rosario. She sent a friend to meet us as we needed to check in early and she was working.
