This place was perfect for my family of 5. The location is great: so close to so many restaurants, including "Tapas Row", aka Calle de la Cava Baja. Everything we wanted to visit (Prado, Palace, Reina Sofia, Mercado de San Miguel, Plaza Mayor) were within 20 minutes walk or less. The apartment was clean and relatively quiet, with everything we needed to make simple meals when we didn't eat out. I could not recommend this place more, especially if you are trying not to break the bank with lodging costs.
