Highly recommend this apartment for staying in Madrid, especially with a family. Perfect for us with two school age boys. Everything was exactly as pictured and as we expected or better. The location was excellent, away from the crush of the city center, but conveniently located with restaurants, bookstores, and markets. Very easy access to the metro to get anywhere we wanted to go from the train stations, to Retiro park to a game at Santiago Bernabeu! The unit is in an old building with lovely updates in the bathrooms, kitchen and living room. The amenities in the kitchen were better than most holiday rentals and we found everything we needed on hand. Loved that the apartment was full of books, both Spanish and English. Because of being located in a city with old buildings there is noise (loud voices, music) periodically throughout the night and into the morning. Not particular to this unit, just a fact of being in a city that travelers might want to know. Never seemed to both our kids' sleep. Good beds and showers and plenty of storage for clothes.
