This is a fantastic place to stay in Madrid. It's clean, charming, full of light and has a view. You are within walking distance of the Reina Sofia museum, the Prado, beautiful parks and the river. The neighborhood is full of bars, bakeries, restaurants, small supermarkets and fruit/vegetable stores, and is a fun place to walk around and soak up the Madrid vibe. The metro is right out front and you can easily access the historic center with the Plaza Mayor and Palacio Real as well as other attractions. I was able to cook several meals easily in the kitchen. There is no elevator so plan to get your workout climbing the stairs. Check in was easy. David responds quickly and helpfully if you have any questions (for example, I had to print out a document while I was there and he suggested a couple nearby places to do that) but otherwise he leaves you alone. I would definitely stay there again.
