Antonio’s place was clean if a little bare. It was pretty well located and the location is peaceful and friendly, but Madrid is large, so it still takes a little while to get into the centre. There’s not many great places for food in the direct neighbourhood so I would recommend going into town to get something to eat, which is about 20 mins on the metro or a 45 minute walk. It’s best feature is it’s proximity to the Retiro Park, which is very beautiful.
The apartment is a bit bare of natural light as all its windows are facing walls and other parts of the apartment complex, but otherwise its a good and affordable place to stay for a couple of nights.
