The apartment is in such an awesome neighborhood that feels so authentic and removed from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas, even though it is just behind the Reina Sofia. We were able to walk or scooter everywhere we wanted to go - Parque Retiro was only a 10 minute walk. We found many great places to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner all on the same street as the apartment.
The apartment itself was very clean, cozy, and spacious. I needed to do some work while there and the round table was perfect. It was very convenient to have a washing machine since we were on a long trip. (Tip - don’t use the dryer function of the two-in-one machine, this just made our clothes wetter for some reason. Utilize the clotheslines and clothespins outside the bedroom window!)
Emilio was extremely welcoming and responded to our questions quickly. We landed in the early morning so he allowed us to drop our bags before checkin time while the apartment was being cleaned.
We look forward to staying here again next time we are in Madrid!
