This apartment is in the very heart of the city and gives easy access to almost every place a visitor/tourist would want to see. We are big walkers and we explored 7+ Madrid neighborhoods without ever having to use any transportation other than our feet. It’s quite large for two people and has all the amenities you need to “live” in Madrid for a week or more. It’s just around the corner from the Plaza Mayor—removed enough to be quiet but very close to all the action. The elevator is definitely a plus since the apartment is on the (U.S.) 4th floor. Like other reviewers, we were a little reluctant to rent a place managed by a company rather than by individuals, but the person (Gustavo) who met us at the apartment was very helpful and Minty (the company) was very responsive. We had a minor plumbing issue and they fixed it within 24 hours. You won’t regret renting this apartment in the heart of Madrid.
