This place is great! Exactly as described and as in the pictures. It's in a great area with short walks (no more than 20 min) to all the big places you want to visit, the Royal Palace, Prado, Retiro Park, etc. It's just off Gran Via which is a bustling shopping/eating street and on the edge of the Malasaña district which has a lot more foods and bars, kind of trendy. Excellent area! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Madrid and I would definitely stay again.
