Far exceeded our expectations. This is a gem of a flat in the heart of the best part of Madrid. We wanted something centric but quiet. It was one of the quietest places I have ever stayed anywhere, let alone in a big city. Outside your doorstep is some of the most beautiful and trendy spots in all of Madrid: five-minute walk to Sol/Callao and all the shops, two-minute walk to Plaza Santa Ana for tapas galore, and in the heart of the literary “barrio de las letras,” where you can see poems etched into the cobblestone streets and visit where Cervantes died and tour Lope de Vega’s house. The flat owners even facilitated early check-in for us, as we were arriving with two young kids from the US. We loved this spot.
