This apartment was beautiful and well decorated. Everything looked new and clean. Our hosts were friendly, helpful and worked with us when our arrival time was delayed. There are places to eat nearby and the neighborhood seemed nice. Many of the things to see and do in Madrid are a short cab/uber or bus ride away. It was hot (39C/102F) while we were visiting so we stayed out of the afternoon heat as much as possible by visiting some of the great museums around Madrid.
