Perfect location for museum lovers! We chose this place particularly because we were most interested in visiting the Prado and Reina-Sophia museums during our very short stay in Madrid. What an adorable space! It is stylish and well appointed. Paula offered a great list of options for dining and checking out the city. La Malontina is literally right around the corner and was a wonderful idea for dinner for our last night in Spain. If you are looking to check out the Catedral area, San Miguels Market, and Barrio Santa Cruz you will have a short 20 minute walk which by European standards isn't far. Also note that the apartment is on the second floor (that's third floor for Americans) with no lift and the cute balcony is another several flights upstairs. So pack light and enjoy the vintage charm of a historic building with a fully updated apartment.
