We stayed in this apartment for a week and adored it. It was perfect for our first visit to Madrid: comfortable walking distance to all the museums and major attractions, yet located such that you feel like you’re in a vibrant, interesting neighbourhood surrounded by (mostly) local residents. On a charming side street with great independent shops, cafés, and restaurants all around and a lovely neighbourhood vibe—we recommend having a drink at La Gloria just down the street. We had to get our own paper towels, laundry soap, and extra toilet paper but there are multiple supermarkets within a couple of blocks so that was easy.
