The apartment was in an excellent location....walking distance to all of the main highlights of Madrid. The piazza right outside the apartment was beautiful. The architecture of the buildings around the apartment is beautiful. The apartment is really big by Europe standards and is really nice inside. There is everything that you may need on your stay....they even had coffee, tea, spices for use which was really nice in the mornings. And Alex's dad even brought in some milk for the coffee so we would be set to go when we got there. We were greeted by Alex's father as he was away. He is a very nice man who showed us around the apartment and even made suggestions on where we should go and pointed us in the right direction. They were both very accomodating on th check in and check out times which was really nice. I would suggest this apartment to anyone. I have staying in a couple throughout Europe and this is one of the nicest.
