The apartment was perfect for our stay, from the location to the decor. As everyone else mentioned, it is within walking distance to Plaza Mayor, Mercado de San Miguel, and other landmarks (excluding El Retiro Park), therefore very convenient! We also, discovered a coffee shop/restaurant ("Federal"), which was like a 3 minute walk. We frequented this place numerous times. There was also a Catholic church about a minute away, so for those who attend church, this apartment was perfect. If you keep walking past the apartment (on your left), you will come across a few restaurants/bars (less than a minute walk) that had fantastic happy hour specials. We went there twice during our visit. My family and I would definitely come back and stay here!
