This apartment is Madrid is excellent. The location is perfect for exploring the historic city center, the museums and the beautiful Retiro park. It is also a great starting point for travel from the Atocha Train/metro station. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. The air-conditioning was very useful during August in Madrid. The beds were great. The bathroom has been outfitted with a modern shower. The kitchen is well-equipped. It is located on the ground floor, so there are no significant stairs to contend with. Mabel was a helpful and gracious hostess. I highly recommend this apartment and I would definitely rent here again if I returned to Madrid.
