This apartment was perfectly located for my week in Madrid which was to attend a few days of the Madrid Open tennis as well as visiting museums and galleries and generally exploring Madrid. 2 metro stations are close by (5 minutes walk to the station that goes directly to the station closest to the tennis stadium and 10 minutes walk to Atocha) with the Atocha metro station also being where the Madrid intercity Renfe station is situated so the 10 minute walk with luggage was very easy. Communication with Maria was excellent and she was at the apartment to meet me at 9.30pm as arranged to explain everything which was much appreciated after 27 hours of flying! It is a nice and safe neighbourhood with mini supermarkets nearby for your requirements.
