Would highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Madrid!We stayed here for 4 nights and it was just perfect,from the start the communication with the owner was excellent,very helpful in providing information on how to reach the apartment from the airport,was there to meet us at 9pm,very helpful and always available for any queries you might have,also some good guide books and maps are provided in the apartment.Once you've climbed the stairs to the 4th floor(so if you have any mobility problems this obviously may not be for you)the apartment is very clean,kitchen facilities available.The area is perfect for anyone wanting to visit Madrid,a short easy walk and you are into Plaza Mayor and from there everything is within walking distance,the restaurant next door is just perfect for breakfast,we went there every morning,very friendly staff and excellent Cafe con leche!The area is great for bars and restaurants,in the evening you have everything you could need within a few streets,great restaurants for tapas and dinner options,and plenty of places to have a drink,and if you get the great weather we had lots of places to sit outside with a drink and enjoy the local atmosphere.Will definitely book this apartment again when(not "if" but "When!")we return to Madrid!
