This apartment is clean, comfortable, and stylish. It was a fantastic base for me to explore Madrid as well as day trips to nearby cities. Communication from the host was always excellent and she met me upon arrival and not only oriented me to the apartment but also took me through a walk of the neighborhood to become familiar with restaurants, metro, and markets. The location is on a quiet street yet you are only a 5 minute walk from the Palos de la Frontera metro stop (line 3) and only a 15 minute walk to the arts district, parque buen retiro, and Atocha train station. A supermarket as well as a market with individual wine, cheese, fish, and meat stalls is one block away. Many restaurants within one block. Upon a return trip to Madrid I hope this apartment would be available again because I really enjoyed the space and the location.
