This apartment made our whole trip! The location can not be be beat. It’s centered right in the middle of everything you want to see so it made all the attractions of Madrid easily walkable. Being in the plaza makes you feel a part of the action all day, even when you’re at home. It was prefect. At the same time, the apartment was perfectly quiet and dark with the shutters closed during nap or night time. We traveled with our 3 year old daughter and Javier was so kind - he had a pack and play ready to go with a comfy mattress and milk waiting for her in the fridge. We walked the whole city and enjoyed the little restaurants and smaller streets around the apartment (tucked just far enough away from the madness of Puerta del Sol). There’s great grocery stores, cafes, take away dinner spots, gelato stops and helpful resource stores like Flying Tiger all so close. The apartment was perfectly clean, well equipped with heaters (it was a little cold when we arrived in the rain) and we saw the AC but didn’t need to use it. We cooked a lot, the kitchen is well equipped. I would definitely stay here if we visit again. We couldn’t have picked a better apartment.
