Laura’s place was great! A good size to unpack and relax for a week and with all the basic kitchen/ household things you might want (we appreciated the iron/ironing board). It’s very central to a ton of restaurants/museums/sites and Madrid is fairly walkable in general so it was easy to see a lot and come back for afternoon breaks if needed.
One note is that because it’s downtown we felt like it was a bit loud sometimes, especially on weekend nights.
