A friend who had been to Madrid told me before we left, the location was central; but it was even better, the street was a few blocks away from the main central areas but had a delightful neighborhood quality.
Recommendation just on the street? Tiki Taco was amazing food. The specialty coffee across the street was some of the best cappuccino we have ever had. The bakery near the coffee place was filled with delicate gems. Mas Al Sur, out the door to the left, was the best tapas place nearby.
The apartment was stylized and comfortable; the views were peaceful.
