Marta's apartment is wonderfully located, right where "all roads lead to" Gran Via. So while one has the lovely shops and cafes around, it also has the feel of an upscale residential Madrid neighbourhood. Every possible convenience required is close by. The apartment itself is very well-equipped, comfortable, stylishly done and a great place to come back to and relax after hectic shopping. Marta particularly is a great host, always in touch and happy to provide suggestions, answer queries, etc. We enjoyed staying there and hope to go back soon.
