The apartment is perfectly located within easy walking distance to everything - Sol, Atocha, the main museums, the palace and Retiro park are all within a 10 minute walk. Despite being on a lively pedestrian street, the apartment is very quiet as it is facing an inner courtyard. The AC works well and the bed was very comfortable. We were provided a bottle of wine and cake when we arrived, and were greeted by Alicia, who helps Gorete, who showed us the apartment and the main amenities. We would be happy to stay again next time we visit Madrid!
