We stayed 8 days in Teresa's lovely apartment and it could not have been better for us. Teresa is very friendly and a perfect host who is always available to answer any questions you may have. The apartment is spotlessly clean with modern appliances, a great shower and a very comfortable bed and it is ideally located within walking distance to all the great museums, the Palacio Real and Retiro Park. There are wonderful cafés for lunch just up the street in the Plaza Santa Ana and the Plaza de Angel and the neighborhood is full boutiques for shopping and bars for tapas at night. Some of our favorite places were the Café Central for lunch and jazz at night and Viva Madrid for tapas just up the street and La Trocha for the best caipirinhas we've had since we were in Brazil. The three great art museums are simply stunning but we also thought the Museo Archeológico National was the best archaeological museum we have ever vistied. All in all, Teresa's apartment is the perfect base for immersing yourself in the splendor and vitality of Madrid.
