This was a true luxury rental in a great location. The newly renovated apartment was large, spotless, had great lighting and fine beds. The location is steps to Calle Mayor, a major tourist destination; a short walk to Plaza del Sol, the other major gathering point in Madrid which is also the confluence of several subway lines; a 10 minute walk to the Royal Palace and three subway stops to the Museum District. We couldn't have chosen a better location. Our hostess, went out of her way to help us get our luggage in an out of the apartment and figure out how to use the washer/dryer.
