We arrived at the apartment on Saturday am 26 July. It was only 30 minutes from the airport and the cab fee was 30 Euro's. The location was perfect and very close to major areas of Old Madrid and very close to a bus stop for the Madrid City Tours. We were within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go. We were met by Sol's sister who gave us a tour of the studio and pointed out brochures that would help us get around. When we rented we did not realize that this studio apartment was a 4 floor walkup which got a little difficult for the wife. Although it did sleep three with one queen size bed and a pullout trundle bed, the pullout was not very comfortable for an adult. The AC worked fine and we especially liked the Nespresso machine so we brought own espresso containers from the El Cortez store. There were many restaurants within walking distance. We did trips to Toledo and Avila-Segovia and the pickup location was a ten minute walk from the studio. The only drawback was no phone and our cells did not work in Madrid. You have to buy a phone that accepts a SIM card which the usual IPhone does not. Before we left Madrid we bought a Nokia 1280 for 35 euro's for our next trip to Europe.
