This was a pleasant and fully equipped apartment. It is in the Madrid suburbs with a ten minute walk to the Metro Line 1 Buenos Aires and at least 5 stops to Madrid centre, but the train service is very good, though usually busy. There are a number of good shops within a few minutes of the apartment - Dia supermarket, bread, fruit, veg, meat shops etc if you want to cater for yourself. A ten journey metro/bus pass is the best ticket for travelling round Madrid. Madrid centre is very compact and most of the sights and attraction there are close to each other and near a tube station. A week is good to see most things. JW.
