Wow! What a great place to stay. The apartment is exactly how it appears on the photos. Equipped with everything you need, the apartment was spotlessly clean and very spacious. On a Sunday afternoon the area the apartment was in was quite deserted but by 7 pm the bars and restaurants had opened up and the place was alive! Couldn't have asked for a better location. Bars, cafes, the fantastic Anton Martin market across the road, supermarket, Metro station....the location catered for everything. A short walk down the road got you to Reina Sofia, the Prado and the Thyssen-Bornemisza. You will hear street noise, no-one in Madrid seems to sleep, but it adds to the atmosphere rather than is a problem. Ana was great to deal with, always quick to respond prior to our stay and check-in was easy with her cleaning lady. If we return to Madrid we would not think of staying anywhere else.
