Ideal for couples or solo travellers to explore Madrid. Very central location within walking distance of all the major attractions, plus there are metro stations within a couple of minutes walk as well. Plenty of different restaurants within walking distance and just off one of the main streets so the area feels very alive. However, it is quiet as night as it's located on a side alley which is gated at night (though you are given the code). The apartment is small but perfect to use as a base for a holiday. The hosts are very friendly, easy to contact and willing to help. Provided me with lots of useful information about the apartment and the surrounding area.
