Our first visit to Madrid and we picked a lovely apartment, lovely and clean, comfortable and warm, which was always nice to come back to after a cold day exploring Madrid. If you are not keen on walking too far the apartment is on the 4th floor, there is a elevator, but it will take approximately an hours walk to the Old Town. There are several bars and restaurants, all within 5 minutes walk and you will certainly get an authentic Spanish experience as English is not readily spoken by most staff, but a good deal of pointing and perseverance should get you some tasty tapas/meals and if you enjoy a nice glass of red wine, you won't be disappointed with the quality or value. So for a comfortable,stylish, warm stay with very good amenities and extras, stay in Andres's apartment.
