This is an amazing apartment to rent, right in the centre of Madrid near all the interesting places to visit, but the minute you leave the main streets and enter the local area all noise disappears and it is a tranquil oasis. You can easily walk to much of central Madrid and places a bit further afield like Parque del Retiro you can access by Metro very near the apartment. We were a couple with an adult daughter and we managed very well using the sofa bed; we loved to retreat to the splendid terrace late afternoon and early evening to enjoy the sunshine and pre-dinner drinks. We found places to eat in the neighbourhood and a supermarket just steps away. The apartment itself is very well appointed and thoughtfully designed and decorated so you feel very 'at home'.
We would definitely try to come here again if we return to Madrid one day.
