Carmen’s apartment was perfect for us…old friends meeting to visit after too long a time. While I paid for an extra day (a requirement that guests stay 5 days) it was worth it to stay in a charming, light, and well appointed apartment. We walked everyplace from the apartment, down old streets, but within walking district of the Prado, museums, restaurants, the Plaza Mayor, the Plaza del Sol. The appliances were the latest models, with an infection oven, etc. We enjoyed eating and talking in the apartment as well as exploring Madrid and visiting the museums. Id definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this to friends.
