This apartment is very close to the centre of Madrid - it is located roughly halfway between the Royal Palace and cathedral to the west, and the 3 best-known art galleries to the east. As such, there isn't a great deal of need to use public transport to see the main sights of central Madrid as they are within easy walking distance. We flew into Madrid Barajas airport. Getting in from the airport on the Metro system is no problem, although it did require a couple of changes of Metro line - but that's likely to be the case for most places in central Madrid. Upon arrival, we met up with Juan Carlos from Mad4rent who was waiting in the apartment for us. This was quick and easy - Mad4rent get a thumbs up from me for good communication. We didn't arrive until 1030pm and were charged extra for a late check-in, but as this was made clear before booking, I guess that's fair enough. The apartment itself is a good size and plenty big enough for my wife and me. It has a small kitchen area with a sink, microwave and fridge that would allow you to prepare a simple meal if you so wished. (One thing it doesn't have is a kettle, so we had to boil water on the hob.) The bathroom has a lavatory, basin and shower. The shower is good and powerful - very powerful. This hasn't always been my experience of Spanish showers, so this was welcome. The hot water came from what I guess would be described as small immersion. This worked fine - again, not always the case at other places I've worked in Spain. Other items in the flat included a sofa that could have been used as an extra bed, a table and chairs, and a good-sized modern TV (I was gratified to be able to plug in a USB to one of the ports and play movies - with less fuss than my own TV). Importantly, the apartment also has good wifi - Juan Carlos gave us the password for this when he checked us in. Both my wife and I were able to connect first time to a good strong signal that did not drop out - again, not always the case with previous Spanish experiences. Given the temperature during our stay was over 30C, the presence of air-conditioning was also welcome (see below). The obvious stand-out feature is the bedroom being on a mezzanine level that is accessed via some metal steps. This is fine, but I wouldn't want to use them when I've had too much to drink, and they certainly wouldn't be okay for anyone who is a bit restricted in their mobility. (By the way, I should say that it's obvious from the photos provided that this is a feature of the apartment.) Less to my liking, however, is the restricted head height on the mezzanine level. Not to put too fine a point...
