The apartment is very central to tourist 'honey pots' such as the Palacio de Real, Plaza de Mayor, Puerto del Sol and close to the Metro stations, which makes travel easy for those who do not wish to walk between the sites, especially if the weather is extremely hot. There is excellent communication from the hosts and the apartment is cosy and very clean with air-conditioning in the living-room area and larger of the two bedrooms. There is no window in the smaller bedroom but there is a false window with a garden scene painted on it. The apartment is on the third floor and there is one additional floor above . The apartment along with two other apartments is accessed from the stairwell ia a landing door which can be locked for additional security. All floors are accessed via stairs or a small elevator which opens on the second and fourth floors. There is a very good choice of nearby restaurants and bars. Small supermarkets are also very close. The Parque Del Retrio is well worth a visit to experience the greener side of Madrid. We as a family of three enjoyed our short, week long stay but if we were to revisit we would probably pay more for a larger, more spacious premises or book a hotel in a less centralised, bustling location.
