The apartment is absolutely wonderful and the host is just great! The accommodations are very comfortable and clean. The location could not be better for tourists. The palace and cathedral are literally around the corner and there are many shops and restaurants in close proximity. In fact there is a beautiful cathedral across the street from the apartment which is lovely to see through the windows. Plaza Mayor and Sol are also very close by. If you are visiting Madrid, this is a fantastic place to stay at. Thanks and enjoy your travels!
