Gorgeous apartment, just the right size for 2 couples or a small family of 4, and bright and well equipped with everything you'd need for a few days or more in a great city. Maria's communication was outstanding - so friendly, helpful and thoughtful. The apartment is very clean, in a good location that is about 20-30 minutes walk to the middle of Madrid's attractions, and about 5 minutes walk into Retiro park. Split system cooling/heating in the kitchen was sufficient, lovely and refreshing in the summer warmth. There is a flight of stairs to walk up, and undercover parking (extra charge) available almost across the road. We hope to come back for longer next time!
