GOYA APARTMENT- Very pleasant apartment, right in the middle of the city. Restaurants, bars, Plaza Mayor and Mercado San Miguel are within 5-10 mins walk. The Sol metro is just down the road, about 2 mins from the apartment. Apartment is well equipped and well lit at night, bed is comfortable. It can get a bit noisy on a Friday nite (while we were there) but tolerable with the doors shut. We used the microwave only, but we note that a washing machine/ dryer was also provided. We loved the place as it was well kept and near a lot of the places of interest. Cava Baja with all the bars is also reachable within 10-15 mins walk. We took the tour bus and realized that the Real Palace is about 5-10 mins to the Mercado San Miguel, so it means that the sights are within reach. Do note that the apartment is located on an uphill pedestrian street (about 50 meters from the main road) and it will be advisable to get off at the side road (about 5 meters from the apartment) if you are arriving by cab. Daniel (Marga's assistant) was there to meet us and gave us a guide book of Madrid. Marga was also helpful in giving us directions to the apartment and she does respond promptly. Would not hesitate to recommend the apartment to our friends and would definitely stay there again if we are in Madrid. By the way, there were just 2 of us, so it was adequate. The sofa bed in the hall is pretty comfortable as well if there is a 3rd person travelling together.
