We just spent 8 nights in June in this lovely apartment and recommend it for anyone traveling to Madrid. The location is SPECTACULAR-we walked to the Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace, El Parque Retiro, El Museo Reina Sofia y El Prado. You are in the middle of it all yet down a quiet street that was very peaceful. The Opera Metro is a 5 minute walk from the apartment for venturing further abroad. The apartment was modern, clean, cool (and it was hot out!) and very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 teenage boys. The hosts were very helpful and also set us up with airport pickup and drop-off which we appreciated and recommend highly. I could keep going but you get the idea. Stay here and you won't be disappointed!
