This little 2 BR unit was cute and clean with a balcony overlooking one of the trendiest places in Madrid. Not too touristy and crowded like the Gran Via Area (which can be reached by foot in 12 minutes). It’s perfect for a couple for a week. Doable for a few days with 4 but then not much room for luggage. There is a handy exposed wardrobe which is also useful for hanging clothes to dry after using the unit’s washing machine. It’s a tIt’s not a hotel but it has everything you need.
5 minute walk to El Retiro Park and the The Golden Triangle of Art; Museo del Prado, Museo Sofia Reina and Thyssen-Bornemisza museum. If you want to cook...but why would you in this tapas bar and restaurant rich street and city...there are two little but more than adequate grocery stores across the street. Best tapas around! It’s international with an Irish pub below, a Cuban restaurant, lots and lots of great Spanish restaurants right on the Calle. Around the corner and also up the street are yummy vegetarian restaurants. We really enjoyed our tapas and sangria cooking class at Cooking Pointe only two blocks away.
At night we could barely hear noise from these establishments when we retired due to a pretty sound deadening French doors plus thick huge French door shutters. I do, however, always wear earplugs. The only thing we heard was the garbage collector but you will appreciate the clean streets of Madrid.
Mari, our host was very responsive when we had any issues and were met promptly upon arrival. When we return to Madrid we will certainly stay here again.
We’ll be back for sure!
