Isabel's place was great! It is very close to Barrio Santa Cruz and the Plaza de España. We walked to the beginning of Barrio Santa Cruz in 5 minutes. The apartment is in a residential area so it is nice and quiet at night. We went up to the terrace every night to wind down. I suggest definitely watching the sunset from there one night. It sets behind the church and its gorgeous. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you will need. This helped us out since the airport in Madrid lost our luggage and we did not have the essentials.
