What a delightful place in the true heart of Madrid! If you want to be in the middle of the action, this is the place for you! Seriously, look no further. We walked to the Prado, Retiro, the Gran Via, Cibeles, the Royal Palace, every one was within a mile or so. Sol is right down the street as is Plaza Mayor. Several bars and really great food steps from your front door. Yes, it is very alive at night and into the wee hours, but that is the beauty of Madrid. Close the windows and you’ll be fine. The other amazing thing about this place was the apartment which was spotless and well appointed. The ancient exposed wood beams were incredible. It was every bit as beautiful as the pictures! Do yourself a favor and book this place! I lived in Madrid for five years and know the city well and I am definitely booking this place next time I return!
