For us, this was the perfect apartment to stay in at Madrid. It is located in a street with pedestrian access only, with a couple great casual restaurant/bars next to the building. We often would end our nights here. About 100 feet from the apartment is the main road, where you could walk to the subway, to the Plaza Mayor and, depending on how much you are comfortable walking, to a ton of attractions. We walked to the Prado, to the palace, to the Gran Via and to Parque del Retiro among other famous attractions. If you're not comfortable walking 20 minutes or so, then there is a taxi stand maybe 100 yards from the building. I would note that often a taxi, given the traffic, took longer to arrive to a place than walking did! Very close to the apartment are a ton of chocolate places, a pharmacy where we would buy our water bottles, bookstores, bakeries and, for those who love the familiar, a taco bell, McDonalds and KFC! The building has a small elevator, good for a couple big guys to fit comfortable or maybe 3 smaller people. There is also a washer/dryer, which we used. It's an old building, but is clean and secure- 2 locks and doors to enter. The lock on the apartment itself is super secure- 4 rotations to the left to secure and 4 rotations to the right to open, moving a series of deadbolts. My wife and I slept in the 2nd room, with 2 double beds, so I can't speak to the master bedroom, but the 2nd room had comfortable beds and enough closet space. I would definitely return.
