This apartment was above and beyond what I expected. The sights and sounds of the Lavapies neighborhood are vibrant and thriving throughout the days/evenings. The streets nearby provide beautiful scenery and plenty of shops, cafes, and terraza's to eat at. This is an excellent location for those who wish to walk around Madrid and get a local feel, it is within 20-30 min walking distance to all major plazas, markets, museums, and Retiro park. I would stay here again!
