This was a great apartment as it was located near most things we wanted to see. If you want to see major art galleries then this is an excellent spot to stay. It is only a short walk from the Reina Sofia which has Pcasso's Guernica along with other great artwork. The Prado is a longer walk but still manageable. Being close to the Metro was excellent as it meant we didn't have to go far with our luggage. The apartment was compact but had everything we needed. It was a very multicultural neighbourhood which was great for us as we had a wide choice of food from different nationalities including many Indian restaraunts. Being vegetarian doesn't mix well with spanish cuisine. The kitchen was well equiped and we appreciated the use of a washing machine.
