Indeed a charming appartment. It feels/looks and is luxurious. We were welcomed in the appartment even though we were a bit early. The information Rutilio send us up front was perfect. We easily found the bus at the airport, which took us to Atoche Renfe station. From there it's a 20 minute walk to the appartment. They thought of everything. Coffee, scones, sweets, a made up bed, towels, shower gel, shampoo etc. etc. The bed is fine, but perhaps a bit small for us. It is a clean and well equipped appartment. It feels like a 4 star hotelroom. We were very impressed. The appartment is situated in Lavapies, a nice quarter with a huge market (Rastro) every Sunday. If you can find the time, go there and stroll through the Streets. Madrid is not that big, and from the appartment almost everything you want to see is in walking distance. The Prado, Thyssen, the Chueca quarter, The Royal Palace and of course the Parque del Retiro. Coming home at the end of the day, having a shower, drinking a glass of wine. Life's good.
