This is a spectacular apartment in a very quiet and lovely older building, on a residential street, yet conveniently close to the Mercado, Plaza Mayor, the palace etc. The contemporary decor and spacious layout of apartment gave us an oasis of calm in a very bustling city. A big bonus was the wonderful man who coordinated check in and out, and was so responsive to any question or concern! We have rented multiple apartments in Madrid over the years, and this one topped them all, hands down!
