We had a lovely week in Madrid in this apartment that overlooks the Royal Palace. Jose met us when we arrived at 10am on Christmas morning (!), showed us around the apartment, and pointed us to some local groceries that were surprisingly open on Christmas Day. We enjoyed our home base for the week for exploring all of Madrid's sites (Prado, Royal Palace, Museo Reina Sofía, Naval Museum, restaurants, to name a few), and close enough for a one day tour to Toledo (beautiful). We especially enjoyed walked from the apartment toward the Plaza del Sol and listening or watching the musicians, dancers, magicians, and other street performers. It's also close to a massive park in Madrid that is wonderful for a morning run. We are a family of 6 - married couple, 2 college kids, 2 younger kids, and the apartment worked beautifully for our group. Thank you Jose!
