This is a great apartment within walking distance of the main sites in Madrid. I didn’t use the subway or a taxi during my visit—it was easy to walk everywhere. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the Royal Palace and 15-20 minute walk to the Prado. That being said there is a metro entrance right outside the front door of the apartment if you do want to use it. There are also two grocery stores (one a 24/7 store) yards away from the front door. Check-in was incredibly easy and the hosts even arranged for a car to pick me up from the airport which was extremely helpful. The apartment was quiet and there are two elevators that worked well. I enjoyed my time here and highly recommend both the apartment and the hosts!
