This was the most amazing flat. In an absolutely wonderful location a stone's throw away from the Prado and Thyssen museums and Retiro park and easy to get to other parts of the city by foot or metro. The apartment was comfortable and we were so happy here we didn't want to leave! We were able to meet our hostess briefly and she was so nice. I wish we had had a chance to share a glass of wine. Perhaps another time.
She left a wonderful note with suggestions of things to do and see around the city that was spot on. So glad we saw the vertical garden, so beautiful. Despite being in a vibrant area, there was no noise interfering with our sleep. I hadn't expected to like Madrid as much as we did and am sure that having such comfortable quarters had a lot to do with this!
