The apartment is in an excellent location for walking to all the fabulous Madrid highlights - Museo Del Prado, Palacio Real, Catedral de Santa Maria, Plaza Mayor, all the parks (including the Casa del Campo) etc. We arrived at the airport and travelled to the La Latina metro station which is very close to the apartment. We bought metro tickets for getting around but hardly used them in the end as we enjoy walking. The local bars and restaurants are also very good and quite lively! Loved it.
