We lucked out with this one. Perfect location in the middle of Madrid. Unless you are very averse to being in a touristy area, I cannot imagine how you would find a better location. We walked everywhere, and it was delightful. The Plaza Mayor is around the corner, as are countless shops, restaurants, and bars. If you wanna get out of the central touristy area, it's a short walk in just about any direction to other cool locales. The key museums and sights are all walkable. The apartment itself is clean, renovated, well-appointed, well-designed, and surprisingly spacious for a European apartment in an old neighborhood. Exactly as pictured in the advertisement. Isa and Amanda stayed in touch and met us on time when we arrived. No bumps in the road at all!
