Location next to Puerta del Sol is ideal for being able to walk everywhere. We were only in Madrid for two days and hardly spent any time in the apartment. The location of the apartment allowed us to pop in to grab what we needed before continuing sight seeing or to take a quick rest and reset. Apartment is on a very busy and touristy street, but the apartment itself is quiet. The space is small but worked for my husband and two sons as it has a bedroom, loft area with bed, and a pull out couch so kids had their own bed.
