The Penthouse apartment was really a wonderful experience. The location cannot be beat. It has a spectacular view of the Royal Palace. There are at least three Metro stops within a few minutes walk. The Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor are steps away. We were met at the door by the host and during our stay, any questions we had were quickly answered via WhatsApp. There was a washing machine but no dryer, so we just hung our clothes to dry, not a big deal. We cooked and ate several of our meals in and everything we needed was there to use. We had to hand wash and dry the dishes but again, no big deal. Overall, our experience was wonderful and if we ever make it back to Madrid we will check to see if the Penthouse is available again!!
