The location is terrific, situated a few blocks from where all the activity near the Plaza Mayor starts which allows you easy access to explore the "tourist zone" while also being able to retreat to your flat for a more tranquil environment. The apartment itself is not large, but comfortable. The kitchen set up, opening up to the living room area, provides for an inviting hangout level. Having the bedrooms upstairs with their own bathrooms is a major plus. The showers in the bathrooms are tight, but typical of my experience in Europe and really did not bother us one bit. The staff we communicated with was friendly and helpful. All in all, a terrific place for our family of four to experience our first trip to Madrid.
