for me and my wife this apartment was a wonderful place to stay in Madrid. Anouk, the host, was very helpful und friendly.
The Plaza Mayor in the Center of the City. Prado, Palace Royal, Buen Retiro, Cafes, Jazz locals and other parts of the city we visit by walking through the beautiful old town of Madrid. For a ride along the site of the Manzaranes River we rent a good bicycle at a store near by at the Ayuntamento. All the spanish people we meet in Madrid were very kind.
The apartment has a good floor heating system so it was warm in the winter. The roof terrace is amazing. You see the daily life of the plaza mayors with street artists and classic concerts around the new year. At the same time the apartment is very calm. The view over the roofs of the city and to the mountains around is breathtaking. We like the tasteful old furniture very much. You feel the sense of art.
We had really a good time there.
