If you are planning a trip to Madrid you couldn't do better than stay at Maria del Mar's flat. The flat itself is quite small and cosy with all the necessary amenities. Maybe a slightly bigger kettle in the kitchen would be good. The location is fantastic. Sol is 2 minutes away, the mercado de San Miguel at the top of the road and the Palacio Real at the other end of the road. The road itself is really surprisingly quiet considering how central it is. Maria del Mar could not have been more helpful prior to our arrival and sent us all sorts of useful hints and tips on things to do and places to go.
