You can't beat the location - about 15 min or less walk from all the major sites (Palacio Real, Plaza Mayor, Prado, etc) and 5 min walk from Gran Via metro station. The apartment is quaint and stylish in the vibrant Malasana neighborhood. The stairs within the building leading up to the apartment are a little spooky, but it just adds character to an authentic stay in downtown Madrid. Meyling has great local tips and things to do in the neighborhood. I would stay there again!
