We spent about three weeks in the apartment and it was great. The neighborhood is quiet and residential with all the things we needed nearby--supermarkets, banks, metro, busses. It was also within comfortable walking distance to Atocha, Retiro Park, the wonderful Reina Sofia Museum, the Prado, and lots of good restaurants. The apartment was modern, comfortable, clean, and well managed. We had a small problem with the heat but the owners were responsive and solved the issue right away. We would definitely stay there again!
