Wonderful spot on the outskirts of Madrid. Lots of local spots to shop and eat. Cafes, bakeries, bars, small restaurants, a couple of supermarkets, etc. The neighborhood is just that, a neighborhood. This is a great thing if you're looking to experience Spain and all the people living their day to day lives. It's very simple to get to the center of Madrid, and all the surrounding attractions which can range anywhere from 15-35 minutes on the metro. (Its a block away, btw) the apartment itself is small, but very well furnished and very chic. Super comfortable and relaxing, and extremely quiet. Overall, great place!
