Great apartment close to Atocha station for connections, but in a quiet side street so no noise! The apartment is clean, roomy & well kept including two bathrooms with shower, fully stocked kitchen & nice cotton bedsheets. The three bedrooms are good doubles; plenty of room for 6, comfy beds & good storage for clothes & cases. Jose our host was great at communicating prior to our arrival & met us with the keys.
Fantastic location! Prado & Sofia museums, & the Jardin Botanico are 10-15 mins walk away; Thyssen museum is 15 mins & we walked across town 30-35mins to the Royal Palace & El Rastro flea market. There are bakeries, bistros & small grocery stores around the block, & a supermarket 5mins walk away. We stayed as a girls weekend & felt safe in the neighbourhood walking around & coming home at night. Great bars & restaurants just up from the Sofia museum - again 10 mins walk.
Madrid is a wonderful city. The people are really friendly, food is delicious & the apartment is in a perfect location to enjoy it all!
