We had a lovely week in Madrid made all the better by our choice of apartment. The only negative was a little confusion over access to the keys, but that was quickly sorted. The apartment was clean with ample towels and bedding. The kitchen was basic but sufficient for our needs. There is a sofa and tv if needed. The bed is on a mezzanine floor accessed by floating stairs and a rope hand rail. There is also a netting ceiling between the lounge and bedroom. It looks strong enough to lounge on, though we didn't use it. If you need to use the bathroom during the night you might want to leave a lamp on downstairs. There is an electric radiator which was sufficient for our visit in March when it is still quite cool. The apartment is residential but there was no excessive noise, even at night. There are two small supermarkets in the same street and a very nice greengrocer. There are other shops within a few minutes walk. It is about 50 meters to Delicias metro station with very easy access to the whole of the city. Locally, there is a very good train museum just over the road and the Queen Sofia Gallery (Picasso/modern art) can be walked in about 15 minutes, with the Prado and Retiro Park 5 minutes further. If you are eating out there are a number of very good local cafes for breakfast/lunch etc. If you are driving, parking in the street is by meter, though the local transport is so cheap and reliable that a car is not needed. When we return this will be our first choice rental.
