The apartment was as advertised. Very clean, well appointed and in a great location. The building is secure from the street and includes an elevator. Plaza Mayor is just a few blocks away, the Palace a 5 to 7 minute walk away and two Metro stops close by. One stop served by line 1 which connects to Atocha and Chamartin train stations for day trips to Toledo, Segovia and Salamanca. Plenty of restaurants and tapas bars within a two or three block radius. A small grocery store is located a block away and a larger store just three blocks away. Maria was on hand at check in and was extremely helpful. One afternoon our key cards would not work in the front door and Maria was over in ten minutes to let us in and give us new key cards. A great place in the middle of all the sights.
