If you are interested in historic, elegant and upscale living in the heart of the city, this beautiful, spacious apartment is for you. Full of personal treasures, artwork and refined furniture, this apartment is ideal for the business traveler seeking respite from the tedium of small, predictable hotel rooms. With its stunning view of the Royal Palace from its several balconies, the apartment is the perfect setting for romance (especially honeymoons). While full of antiques and collectibles, the apartment is equipped with a modern kitchen and bathrooms. I'm not sure the apartment is suitable for young, energetic children, but for grown ups looking for an exceptional experience of Madrid, the apartment is ideal. The metro is literally around the corner (as are buses and taxis), and the area has many great restaurants. I cannot speak highly enough of Karin, the host. She was kind, gracious, extremely generous and helpful to me during my stay. I was impressed by her professionalism and caring - and the extraordinary beauty of this apartment. I will definitely be back!
