My boyfriend and I spent two nights in Madrid. This place was PERFECT! Ruty was GREAT! He greeted us right on time to check-in and gave us a all kinds of useful information about the apartment and things to do in the city! Bed was very comfortable and the apartment itself was very clean and spacious for two people. The apartment is on the 3rd floor with a small elevator.
Neighborhood is great! So many restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and cafe's within walking distance. Seriously, you WILL find a place to have coffee and a croissant for 3 euros within a 3-5 minute walk from Ruty's apartment.
No need to take the metro. But if you prefer public transportation, there's a metro close by. We walked everywhere from Ruty's place.
About 15 minute walk to Puerta de Alcala
About 10 minute walk to Plaza Cibeles
5 minute walk to Gran Via
20 minute walk to Parque El Retiro
Look no more. Ruty is very responsive and helpful! We will definitely stay here again!
