This apartment is in a great location! You can walk down the hill to the major museums, between ¼ (.4k) and 1/3 (.53k) miles away, and to the lovely Retiro Park, where the Crystal Palace is. And the subway is just around the corner. Also, we were able to walk with our luggage down to the Atocha train station, under half a mile, where we could take a train to the airport. There’s a lovely sandwich and coffee shop on the corner, and a supermarket half a block away. Just a few blocks away, between the Prado and the apartment, is a street full of tapas restaurants. The apartment is very quiet, no street noise or noise from others in the building. We did have to be careful on the stairs up to the apartment, which are a bit uneven and slope. The layout in the apartment works well for two couples or a family. People can move around without bothering people who might be sleeping. However, the bedroom with the full bed and the en suite bathroom has no windows and we found it hard to keep it from getting too hot. (We were there in March, so we needed to use the heating system and have no idea how well the a/c works.) The kitchen is nice and roomy, but there are not a lot of cooking utensils and dishes. We were fine, not planning to cook when there were so many wonderful restaurants around. The toaster fell apart and we put it back together again, but we had difficulty finding a working socket where we could plug it in. Also, although the listing says there is a coffee maker, the only one we found was in pieces and is some sort of percolator device, not sure how it works. I had asked before we arrived but never received an answer. (I don’t think the management had any idea what kind of coffee maker there was.) We just made our own coffee with a drip cone that we had brought with us. The shower in the small bathroom is tiny and uncomfortable to use. There was some sort of problem with a toilet that management already knew about it and fixed immediately, within hours of our arrival. An important thing to note is that, since we arrived in the morning and wanted to drop off our luggage, we were told that we could leave it at the office, but the management didn’t tell us until we arrived at the office that the apartment was actually almost a mile away. They gave us directions to walk there, saying it was about a 15 minute walk, not true, certainly not when you’re dragging your suitcase. If we had known that the office was nowhere near the apartment, we would have chosen to hold onto our luggage until we could get into the apartment. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and had a great time in Madrid.
