The place is very convenient in the old part of Madrid within walking distance from the center. The appartment is modern, clean, and equiped with everything that a family beeds. There are 80 steps and no lift however this was an opportunity to exercise a bit, we did not consider it as a disadvantage. Elena and Pachi provided us with wxcellent tips of restaurants and places to visit off the beaten track. If you like to spend a few days in Madrid like a Madrileno, this is the place to be.
