Emilio’s place was beautiful. And the location was great. You can see the Reina Sofia from the bedroom window. It is close to many good restaurants, cafes, and Retiro. It is also next to the Atocha train station, which makes day trips from the city easy.
As we expected staying in Madrid, it is useful to have earplugs to sleep with. The washing machine and dryer are very helpful for a long trip.
