This lovely apartment was perfect for our family. The location is excellent - close to El Retiro (park) and an easy metro ride anywhere in Madrid. We were also able to walk to the Prado and the Reina Sofia! The Prado is a little over a mile walk through the park, which is very pleasant and a sight in itself. The apartment itself is beautiful, with so many conveniences, including coffee maker, clothing washer, and dishwasher. I did laundry three times while I was there (we stayed over a week), which is key when traveling with children. It’s quiet and has a playground and pool - the saltwater pool was gorgeous and would be perfect for July and August (it was a little too cold for us in June). Finally, Nieves was a wonderful host and responded immediately to questions. Highly recommend!
