We all (2 adults and 4 children) have just returned from Madrid and we have had an amazing time. The city is fantastic and easily accessible on foot, metro or tour bus.
Apartment advantages:
- great city centre location (only 20 minutes from airport)
- Near 2 metro stops (Sol & Opera)
- Lots of cafes, restaurants and bars nearby
- Clean and nicely decorated
- Bedrooms were large with lots of storage for clothes
- Friendly & welcoming host. On arrival he had left us provisions in the fridge and a lovely bottle of Spanish wine
- Shutters and blinds in the rooms were
amazing and made it pitch black even though the sun was shining outside
- Within walking distance from lots of tourist sights. You should definitely go and visit: Parque De El Retiro for the rowing boats, Madrid Palace, Plaza Major, Mercado De San Miguel for amazing food & drink, Zoo Aquarium, Bus Tour
Points to note
- If you are a light sleeper you might be disturbed by the noise from the street outside although this didn’t wake any of our children
- There’s no safe in the apartment to store passports/currency
- If you are travelling in a party of more than 3-4 people then you might want to consider pre-booking a private taxi to/from the airport as we had to wait nearly an hour for one to take us to the apartment
We would definitely recommend a stay here in Madrid.
