We stayed at the apartment in December 2018. The walk distance to the metro station is just 2'. And the city center is no more than 40' by walking. The apartment is very large with all the essentials - and then some. Furthermore, it is beautiful and warm - both literally and metaphorically. Pilar is very well organised, providing us with all the useful information along with maps and leaflets. If I ever visit Madrid again - and I hope I do - I would happily stay at Pilar's again. And by the way, the view is great. Overall, Pilar helped us make an unforgettable journey even better.
