This apartment is in the middle of the center and tourist areas of Madrid. You can walk to Plaza Mayor in less than a minute. Amazing location. Sol is a 5 minute walk. You need to be able to walk up a winding staircase, but we are young and it was no issue. Doritza and her son helped us with the luggage when we arrived, and it was such a blessing after four flights!! The apartment is small, but it was perfect for 2 people. It has all the things you need for a short stay in Madrid (we spent a week). The apartment was clean and had fresh towels and sheets were super comfortable! The shower is tiny. Not good for anyone above 5 foot 8 or so. One of us is 5'10. It was cramped but manageable. There is a hostel across the street that was loud at times, but the entire center is like this. Amazing location and perfect for a spring break getaway for 2!
