Fantastic location steps from the Temple de Debod and the Royal Palace. Markets, bakeries, fabulous bars and restaurants are in the neighborhood. As for the apartment, the photo's don't do it justice. Tastefully decorated and functional Ricardo's apartment was sophisticated and cozy . There is an elevator for this 5th floor flat and the area is quiet. Fantastic kitchen with everything you could possibly want. Ricardo was a wonderful host and was helpful getting us acclimated to Madrid as well as the features of the flat.
