I had the best stay ever in Madrid. It's my first time in Spain. I have to say the location of this apartment is really strategic. Every thing is just walking distance. Most happy about it was there is a tourist information counter just next to the apartment and all we need was to walk down the staircase and ask anything we need to know about Madrid. The host was really awesome. Great people. But one thing of cos is the staircase to walk up. If u have big luggages it can be a bit of pain. But if u don't mind to do some workout after all u will be eating a lot of food in Madrid... Walking up and burning some calories will be a great idea!!
