We were looking for a place to spend an entire week in Madrid, getting to know the city but far enough from the intensity of the city center to be able to relax. This apartment was perfect. It is exactly as pictured -- furnished simply and tastefully with separate living, kitchen and bedroom areas. We liked the location very much -- a neighborhood far enough from the city center to be quiet, but still close enough to get there by walking (30-40 minutes -- we like to walk) or metro (10-15 minutes). Two metro stations within 5 minute walk from the apartment. Plenty of neighborhood bars and restaurants, fruit/vegetable markets, supermarkets (Aldi, Carrefour, Dia). El Corte Ingles (a massive and elegant department store) is a 10-15 minute walk or metro to Nuevo Ministerios. We were surprised to learn a short time before check in that we would need to go to an office in the city center to get keys, but we were informed later that electronic locks are scheduled to be installed, so this perhaps will not be the case for future renters. We needed to contact Edwin for linens (a housekeeper apparently forgot to deliver them) and help operating the stove, and we got prompt replies. We would definitely stay in this apartment again.
