The apartment is in a perfect location. Being just a little over one block from Buen Retiro Park was really fantastic. The street is quiet and it was great having a perfect little grocery store across the street. Plenty of really good restaurants of all nationalities. Great access to the Metro system and the train station is only about 5 minutes away and the airport was only 12-30 minutes depending on traffic. I walked many miles around Madrid and I don’t think I could have picked a better location. The apartment has all the amenities you could want although it took awhile to learn how to use the washer/drier. It would help if there were instructions in English but we were able to download the directions and it worked fine. The cleaning service was great and I really can’t think of any negatives of the place.
