The apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped. It was wonderful to have so much room in the middle of a big city. The apartment is on Plaza Mayor and has three large windows that overlook all the action in the plaza. It is a constant show to watch all the people. We enjoyed seeing the crowds cheering on their sports teams for hours and we experienced 2 Easter week parades pass right under our window. Fortunately, the building has a double window system that keeps out almost all of the noise. Sleeping was not a problem, though the mattress was a bit firm for us. The plaza is filled with restaurants and souvenir shops. On one end of the plaza it is only a few steps to the San Miguel Market. Just behind it is a supermarket. This made it easy to stock up the kitchen. On the other end of the plaza you are only a few blocks away from Puerta del Sol for your transportation connections. There is a wonderful bakery there, La Mallorquina. We had their Napolitanas de Chocolate almost every day. Also you can walk down a pedestrian cobblestone street, Calle Huerta, to the museum zone. Restaurants abound and around just about every corner there is a new block full of eateries. You get a very quaint feel walking through these neighborhoods in such a large city. The tourist information office in the plaza was very helpful in finding a COVID test site and a printer to prepare our documents to return to the USA. Also, the owners were very attentive to all our questions and provided a caretaker right at the apartment to let us in and show us around when we arrived. Taxi drivers were honest and reasonable, making it easy to get in and out of the plaza. Our host was gracious enough to arrange a taxi pick up for us when we departed for the airport, a flat 30 Euro rate. Overall, it was a wonderful experience in a beautiful apartment in a great location. We would definitely stay again!
