This is a wonderful second floor apartment just off of Plaza Mayor. As it is a second floor expects stairs. As it is not directly facing the interior of the Plaza, but on one of the spurs of the Plaza, staying here puts you directly next to the Plaza without having to deal with the multitude of people that the Plaza can draw (making the place much quieter than you find facing the interior of the Plaza). It can be a bit loud on weekend nights until the night crowd in the area dies down. Within a ten minute walking distance is 80% of the sites to be seen in the city center and within 20 minutes puts you within almost all of them. This is a great location for visiting Madrid.
