Alicia's apartment is beautiful, cozy and very chic. It's on a charming block with a balcony that looks out on to the street. We loved the tall windows and shutters. For winter travelers, it's worth noting the apartment was nicely heated, too. It was about 20-25 minutes walking from major attractions like El Prado...it's also a 10 minute walk to Malasaña neighborhood which has lots of cute shops and restaurants.
