Location, location, location!!
This apartment has a wonderful location with its close proximity to the Palace of Madrid, Plaza mayor, Mercado de SanMiguel, the shops at Gran Via and short train ride to other parts of town.
The view off the balcony of the Palace of Madrid is spectacular. The apartment itself was great too! It was so spacious compared to a hotel room and made us feel right at home with the living room and dining table. The master shower was amazing with good water pressure. The shower upstairs is unique and great for petit guests and/or children.
The rooms upstairs are close to the elevator and can be heard during the night. The master is located on the main streets and you can hear the sirens and street traffic. These weren’t deal breakers for us though. My guests and I felt that this was part of an apartment in the city center. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone traveling to Madrid.
We rented a car and there was a paid parking lot very close by, but honestly it’s better to walk or use the trains to get around. Traffic makes getting around difficult and time consuming, plus public parking is scarce but obtainable.
We were extremely happy on renting this apartment instead of getting a hotel.
