The location of this apartment is absolutely perfect. It is located in a closed side street making it very safe. The plaza del Sol is just a 2 minute walk away and there are several metro stops within a few minute walk. All the big sites and attractions in central Madrid are within a 20 minute walk from the apartment. It is a very cute and cozy spot and a really great place to call your home base while in Madrid. There are lots of really good restaurants all around the area as well and a 24/7 convenience store just across the street. My only complaint is that the water pressure in the shower was almost non existent making it very difficult to take a good shower and feel clean after a long day of walking in Madrid.
