great apartment in the heart of old town madrid. plenty of great restaurants and bars nearby, and night-life too if you ask around (note that the bar/restaurant on the corner practically under the apartment is awesome for food and service, plus has a great club with DJ's playing pumping house beats even during the day in the underground level!). walking distance to all attractions too. note that the apartment does NOT have a balcony. I assumed it did as most apartments in madrid do. note also that parking is a nightmare and you will pay around 30 Euros per day for a safe and secure car park anywhere near the apartment.
