This is a fantastic apartment on Gran Via, right in the heart of the City. Excellent for access to the shops, bars, restaurants and main sights. Metro stations very close to the apartment, although we only used it once to go up the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Taxi to/from the airport is 30 Euros (fixed price) and drops you at the door. ( Very easy to hail them outside too on departure). We walked everywhere, which is very easy from here, and Alfonso gave us some great tips on the areas for the best bars etc. We would recommend the Market San Miguel near to Plaza Mayor , and the area of tapas bars/ restaurants nearby.
The apartment is very clean, modern and bright, and the terrace is a great added extra for sitting out with an aperitif or two. There were five in our party, and the layout worked really well , with the three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
We would recommend this every time, and the nice touch of a bottle of water, bread, jams and a nice bottle of red were very much appreciated
