Excellent location in a lovely neighborhood! Walking distance from the City Center, botanical gardens, Retiro park, and the Prado Museum. There are some wonderful restaurants and shops literally around the corner from the apartment. The space is nice and well-furnished, but the walls are thin and we regularly heard neighbors coming and going. There is no lift in the building, and the apartment was on the third floor (which is actually the fourth floor for anyone coming from the United States!). We were able to walk from the apartment with rolling suitcases to the Atocha train station easily (but walking from Atocha to the apartment would be more difficult as it would be entirely uphill).
