Ines is a wonderful and accommodating host. Check in and check out was very easy. The apartment is very small but clean and has everything one would need for a comfortable stay. Shower pressure was great, HAVC worked fine. There is an elevator - a huge plus since not all old buildings in the center of Madrid have one. The location of the apartment couldn’t be better. It’s right behind the Clock Tower in Puerta del Sol, walking distance to all of the attractions: Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace, Prado, Reina Sofia, Retiro, etc., best restaurants, shops and night life. Also conveniently located 1 min away (all you have to do is cross Puerta del Sol) from El Corte Inglés de Preciados where you’ll find a great supermarket, bakery, gourmet foods and groceries, toiletries and anything else you may need for your stay. 2 metro stations are right there as well. The apartment is interior - only one room upstairs has a window- but it’s what makes it quiet. It has a large terrace with great views of Madrid. Great place to relax and have a glass of Rioja. I recommend this place .
