Our stay could not have been nicer. We were greeted by our host immediately upon arrival from the airport. Mercedes was always attentive via email and made us feel very welcome and tended to. The location is excellent! We could walk to almost all sites any visitor would want to see in Madrid. Nearly every neighborhood any magazine, tourist site or book tells you you should see while in town, is at your door step. This apartment is a five minute walk to the world renowned restaurant Botin, Plaza Mayor is mere steps outside of the front door, and the palace is several minutes walk away. The living area makes you feel at home immediately. The entire space is much larger in person as compared to the pictures. The main windows are extraordinary out onto the street. Wonderful place to call home in Madrid!
