A fabulous studio apartment in what must be one of the best locations in Madrid - 2 minutes walk to the wonderful and full of character Parque del Retiro where you can walk around for hours (we did) listening to music, watching people do yoga or practise tightrope walking or just listening to the many musicians or watching the puppet shows. Of course, if you feel like it there are plenty of opportunities to buy handbags, sunglasses or crisps that get gobbled up by the huge fish in the boating lake. In the other direction is a short walk to the very centre of Madrid and the galleries, with plenty of lovely cafes on route. The apartment is small but very well-designed and the shower has the power you need to refresh yourself after a day walking around this glorious city. Period and Bozena (who opened up for us) were helpful, friendly and prompt to answer any questions we had. I would definitely recommend the apartment and we have friends in Madrid that we showed around as it would be perfect for their visitors also - so hurry if you want to rent it as I'm sure it won't be free very often!
