We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Madrid. This apartment is well decorated, fairly spacious, and close to shopping and restaurants. We walked everywhere, but it is just a short walk to the metro if that is your preferred mode of transportation. We had perfect weather while in Madrid so we did not need heat or AC, only kept the window open and it was very comfortable. We did not use the laundry (it is not inside the apartment itself). We also did not cook at all while there. I would not recommend this place if you have mobility problems, as there are several stairs to climb. It was perfect for what we wanted! Highly recommend!
