Angel’s apartment was an excellent choice. He met us at the apartment and showed us how to use the appliances, gave us a map showing the best of the sights and gave us a list of some great places to eat and explained it all with a translation app so it was very easy to understand. The apartment is very well located, very quiet, has a great shower and very well fitted out. It is tiny but had everything we needed plus heaps of storage which makes size less of an issue. There are a few steps up to the lift which are wide and easy to manage even with luggage. There is a large supermarket just around the corner. It was within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to see and most areas were within 700 metres of the apartment with flat or almost flat terrain. Angel left a sheet of information for later reference which was very handy. Angel mentioned Sobrino de Botin, the oldest restaurant in the world started in 1725. They specialise in suckling pig which was excellent and I highly recommend it but it does get booked out well in advance. We were extremely lucky to get in so book before you get to Madrid but if you don’t or not successful, make your way there and try in person as your first outing and you may be lucky. Botin is also only metres from Mecardo San Miguel which has great atmosphere, tapas and bars and do try the the Vemut on tap (a very popular aperitif in Spain). All in all we had an excellent experience using Angels apartment for our week in Madrid and would certainly go there again if we get the opportunity.
