Sergio’s apartment is in an excellent location to enjoy the easily walkable center of Madrid. Google Maps make distances seem greater, but Plaza Mayor is a 5 minute walk, the Prado less than 15. There seem to be 1000 restaurants within a 10 minute walk, all seeming to be full at any time of day. Well, it’s good food !
Madrid seemed absolutely safe, and the apartment would quell even the most concerned person. The building is filled with apartments of working families, has a lock at the street entry, another to the hallway that leads to the apartment, and one to the apartment itself..
The windows of the apartment open to an interior courtyard which is removed from street noise. The noise you may hear is the comings and goings of the folks who live there.
The apartment itself is as described and pictured. Comfy bed and furniture…Nothing fancy. There is plenty of hot water and good pressure. The washer works easily and well. The kitchen equipment is basic, but adequate for breakfast and a very simple dinner. But, why would you eat in when the food is so good only steps away?
If you do need a bottle of wine, milk or eggs, or more, there is a full scale Carrefour and a Lidl market 200 feet away. A bonus is 4 flower shops across on the plaza if you want to indulge yourself.
So, we happy in the apartment, and give it a top rating.
