Ideal location! On our block alone was a coffee shop, an art gallery, a cervezeria, a tapas bar, and a clothing shop. About a kilometer or so walk from the Atocha where we were able to take the train or bus from the Ave or airport. The apartment is tiny but good for two people. Very modern and clean. Javier was quick to respond to any questions. Would recommend to anyone wanting a home base for exploring the central part of Madrid.
