Do yourself a favor and stray from the hotels and other allegedly more reliable choice in the center of Madrid. This is your best option to feel the REAL vibe of the old quarter AND have access to all of the touristic fun Madrid has to offer. A terrific deal on a pleasantly complete yet minimalist small apartment. Nothing missing. Nothing excessive. Just. What. You. Need. And the fastest responders if any AirBNB hosts EVAH! I’d happily stay again. Do note that you will need to acquire everything you intend to cook or season with - there is. I basic stock of oil, salt, sugar, etc. Nada. But there are great stores around the corner (heck, if you wait until 11pm, and head up to c/Atocha and turn left, the Dia Descuento grocery sells their remaining roast chickens @2 for 5 €!!! So you will have extra for salt and sugar!)
