We spent a week at this well-equipped, spacious, bright apartment, our first visit to Madrid. Raul was there to meet us on arrival and to show us around the apartment, as well as providing some recommendations about restaurants and the location of nearby supermarkets. One of our bags did not arrive in Madrid at the same time that we did, but Raul was very helpful in acting as a conduit for info from the airlines with the result that we soon had the missing bag. The apartment is indeed centrally located, only 20 minutes walking distance from the major museums, the Royal Palace, Buen Retiro, the Botanical Gardens, and most major sites. The kitchen is well-fitted out to facilitate making meals in and there are several good supermarkets close by. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Madrid and highly recommend this apartment as a base to discover the centre of the city.
