Mercedes and Enrique's apartment was the perfect place for us to stay. We were just 1 block from the train station, 30 minutes by taxi to airport. The Prado is a few short blocks away, and the Reina Sofia is a wonderful museum to visit ( where you can see Guernica !)Lots of restaurants near by, and markets. Great neighborhood. Beds were great! Enrique had a taxi pick up waiting for us at the airport . After a long flight, this was really appreciated.
