This place was fantastic!!!!!!! First a big thank you to Jen and her team for being so patient and understanding when our flight was delayed over two and a half hours with no way to communicate this! We felt terrible, but Jen made sure we were greeted when we arrived and with a bottle of wine!!!! Many thanks for your graciousness! We absolutely loved the location near the Plaza Mayor! The Market of San Miguel is literally RIGHT across the street and was our favorite place to eat! So many tapas and drinks and not enough time! There were a few small supermarkets close by which helps for our family of four as we prefer to eat breakfast in and have a few "comforts of home" when we travel. Jen was fantastic with communicating and letting us know some of her local favorites to lead us in the right direction for food and fun! There is a neat barber right next to the entrance of the apartment where my husband got his hair cut and beard trimmed up. We absolutely loved being able to walk around easily, take in the beauty of Madrid at Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed chocolate and churros the nearby Chocolateria San Gines. Great shopping not to far away at many stores such as Primark, Mango, Zara, and lots of local boutiques! We are originally from the states (currently living and working in Africa) and we were very excited to discover a Dunkin Coffee (similar to Dunkin Donuts) not too far fro the apartment! Unfortunately our stay was too short and we had to take a taxi to the train station, which was super easy as the taxi stand was in front of the Carrefour near the apartment. We would absolutely stay here again should we return to Madrid!
