Isabel’s apartment is located on a busy plaza (La Plaza del Dos de Mayo) with many things to do—restaurants, bars, small shops, a grocery, etc. We never lacked for something interesting to see and do. It is also within walking distance of many of the museums and sights of Madrid.
Our favorite day was spent at the Madrid Zoo and Aquarium. I highly recommend it! It is well organized, open, and there is music playing for the animals. The aquarium was outstanding also. This attraction was not a “walk-to”, and it apparently isn’t something that appears in many guidebooks, but we thought it was superb.
Isabel was always available to answer questions. The apartment was clean and well-equipped. We were two older adults and a 14-year-old. The space worked well for us. The only thing that I would caution about is the noise from the plaza at night. We are fairly light sleepers and wanted fresh air at night, which meant we would open the balcony doors a bit, and that let in the noise. There was a fan and a/c, but it seemed wasteful to use those in February. Otherwise, we were well-pleased with the place.
