Carmela’s rooftop apartment is a great space to explore Madrid from. The Sol plaza below is a huge scene (music, buskers, stores, etc). It was going until late at night. It was fun to watch from the roof as the thousands of people streamed through it. Once you close the patio door, it’s quiet and relaxing. Everything is walking distance-Prado, San Miguel market (a must!), sweet neighborhoods, Plaza Major, the palace, etc..
Carmela gave us a walk through, restaurant suggestions and made us feel welcome. We would definitely return. Great time!
