This apartment was everything that we had hoped for in planning our Madrid trip. Location was perfect - close to everything but not too busy and the Palace park area provided a calm and cool retreat when the temperatures were in mid 30s. Close to the buzz of Mercado San Miguel which was great for drinks and tapas. The apartment was spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. No Ikea furniture here. And to top it off, an amazingly friendly and helpful host. Top marks.
