This is second time we have stayed at this listing - and we were very appreciative of the location and the apartment second time around. It is really well located near Plaza Mayor as it is close to main attractions of the city including the Royal Palace and opera, central to Sol, the walking area of Calle Arenal and has easy access to several metro stations. We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying in the apartment - it is comfortable, roomy and filled with funky, beautiful furniture. The high speed internet is fantastic. There are many casual dining restaurants around the area, supermarkets and the food market, San Miguel, which is a great attraction with a nice vibe. Ruben is an attentive host who attends to any requests very quickly. This apartment is highly recommended for your stay in Madrid especially if you need a bit more room.
