The area where the apartment is very centric and close to restaurants, shops, and places of interest. From there we walked easily to el Mercado de San Miguel, Puerta del Sol, Museo del Prado, to the oldest restaurant in the World, and many other touristy places. The only complaint really that we had during our entire stay was how warm the apartment was in late June. There is only one small wall air conditioner for the entire apartment. The warmest was the room in the back which practically had no ventilation. I left feedback for the owner to address this because there is practically no other complaint we had about the place.
