This apartment is fabulous! It has tons of space, loads of character and all the modern amenities you want/need, including great hot water supply and pressure! The front door leads right into the Plaza Mayor, and is within short walking distance to the Royal Palace and Cathedral, as well as Puerto del Sol and other points of interest. We also had no problems walking all the way to the Paseo del Prado and Puerta de Alcala. While Jose was in Barcelona during our stay, his sister, Mercedes, took great care of us. She accommodated our early check in request and was very accessible during our stay. Our host also provided some nice touches with a bottle of "welcome" champagne and nice body wash.
