The apartment was very well located with windows facing Torres Serrano, which is a landmark everyone knows, so if you need directions that is easy. Directly in front of the front door is a tourist office that sells tickets with no waiting for the aquarium, science museum, and some other sites with no markup. Bus to aquarium right near Torres Serrano. Apartment has a washing machine, but there is also a laundry with a dryer right around the corner. Cafes and restaurants in front and nearby. The city is small so you can walk to anything in historic center.
