Location location location! We were able to walk everywhere from the Prado Museum to the Royal Place. Lots of colorful streets to walk, eat, and shop. Angel, the host, was the best. He spent time sharing a map of downtown Madrid noting sites to see and places to eat. Angel also texted us several times during our stay to ask if we needed anything. He was very helpful in arranging the taxi to the airport. Very clean and generously stocked with dishes and bedding.
