This apartment is a lovely place to stay. It is clean, in a great neighborhood, and it is in a great location. There is a grocery store 1/2 a block away. There are several coffee shops within a 2-5 minute walk. The La Latina metro station is 1 block away. It is an easy 12-15 minute walk to Plaza Mayor. If you're there on a Sunday, It's also an easy walk to El Rastro (the weekly open air flea market). If you're interested in a bull fight, it is just a quick ride on the Metro to the Ventas stop (Plaza de Toros). - the only downside: Although there were tablets/packets for laundry supplied under the kitchen sink, and the listing clearly states there is both a "dishwasher" AND a "washing machine", there does not seem to be a washing machine for clothes in the apartment, at least, I was not able to find one. -- Also of note, speaking to the high end quality of this flat, the photos imply that "Clarins" brand toiletries are supplied for guests. This was not the case when I stayed there. -- However, there is a laundromat within a 5 minute walk.
