Location, location! This worked perfectly for my family because we could walk everywhere- to the main museums, restaurants, Plaza Mayor, the palace, and many other major tourist destinations. We never took a taxi (except to & fro the airport), nor the subway. We walked everywhere. (You do not want, nor do you need to rent a car if you stay here.) There were restaurants and markets everywhere and a couple coffee shops just outside our door. The apartment was perfect for us....2 bedrooms, so plenty of privacy, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The apartment was cute and very clean. We stayed in December and it was warm enough because the living room floor was heated! Everything seemed new. The owners were very communicative and therefore it was super easy to find the apartment and easy to get into, even when we arrived late at night. The owners left keys and great instructions & were very cordial. We had a lovely time in Madrid. We would stay here again! Thank you!
