Great location! Two minute walk (one block) to the nearest metro station, or within a 10 minute easy walk to Atocha railway station. Two blocks from the beautiful El Retiro (at the end where you have La Rosaleda) where we went for a walk on several late afternoons and had some cold beers at some of the little drink spots. There are three local bars/restaurants across the street from the apartment (up or down half a block) the two we tried were great. One supermarket on block away, and a much larger one with an even better selection two blocks away.
The apartment was very clean and exactly as described and pictured. A pleasant light living room with well insulated double glazed doors. Open them up and hear the gentle hubbub of the street below, close them up and it’s completely silent. The bedrooms all have complete blackout roller blinds (persianas) that don’t let a drop of light in so you can really sleep in! They are also super quiet. Good washer and dryer in the kitchen are super helpful to have in the apartment.
Thoughtful touches included coffee pods for the coffee machine, a bottle wine and a huge collection of Hola! and such magazines that we all enjoy reading but never buy.
We had a great stay. Great apartment in Madrid!
