This is a great, spacious, clean and honestly stunning (the balconies!) apartment in the middle of a very fun neighborhood that is also close to many tourist attractions. You are able to “do the tourist thing” but also feel like you are in a neighborhood with many wonderful bars and restaurants frequented by locals! Close to the Prado (and other art museums), the Sunday flea market, Plaza Mayor, and so much else! The apartment was spotless and the MADFlats team is so accommodating. Some reviews commented on the noise - we stayed during a weekend in August and it’s on a main street (Atocha) and bus route, but no louder than any other city flat. If you are a very light sleeper, maybe bring ear plugs just in case and you’ll be fine. The flat is sparkling clean and modern with a comfy queen bed - and a fabulous rental staff. It is a great space for a long weekend or week feeling like you want to explore a city while staying in the heart of it all - without the pretension!
