Great location! Great Place! Great Time! -- Lavapies is a popular and very walk-able area. It is close to so many things you'll want to see and do in Madrid as well as home to a vibrant night life. It's about a 20-25 minute walk from La Plaza Mayor or El Parque de El Retiro in either direction. I got a great overview of the city based in this chic little 1 bedroom apartment (as shown!) with state of the art amenities and room for someone to sleep on the couch. This place makes me feel very good about using Airbnb in the future. Thank you Joana and Juan!
