This apartment is a great choice, especially for a longer stay in Madrid. We stayed for a week while making some day trips to Segovia, El Escorial, Valley of the Fallen, Avila, and Toledo. Having a spacious apartment with a beautiful balcony to come back to was a real treat. The pool was also a nice advantage. It's in a quiet little neighborhood, but not too far from anything: the grocery store, restaurants, and the metro to get downtown. A great choice!
