This well equipped and clean, modernized apartment in a lovely old building was perfect for two couples: two bedrooms, each with a large bed, two bathrooms and a large table.

The central location was great, with non-touristy restaurants and cafes easy to find right on the plaza or close by. Double-paned windows kept out the noise and hubbub of the plaza. The windows were easy to open but we usually closed them when sleeping due to periodic carousing below through the night. We liked being so central because of our focus on visiting Madrid's excellent art museums (all easily walkable) and hearing jazz at the Cafe Central, steps away. This is a business, with management handling multiple apartments. We found the business to be well run. Thanks to the management for hanging prints of one of our favorite Spanish artists (Chillida) in the apartment and for providing explanatory notes and a Madrid map. Subway stations (two currently closed for maintenance) are nearby and there is a taxi stand right below the apartment.
