Location: Madrid, Madrid, Spain, Europe (20 minutes to airport by car) View Map
Accommodations: Apartment, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-7)
Very spacious and comfortable apartment, designed to be your home away from home. As our former residence, we can say that it is set up to be family friendly, from small children to older adults.
The location can’t be beaten: it’s close to all the major sites, conveniently situated on a quiet street in the historic Barrio de las Letras, a 5 minute walk to the Prado and Reina Sofia Museums and the lively Plaza Santa Ana, and 10 minutes from the Retiro Park and Puerta del Sol.
Despite its very central location, our clients love the fact that it is so quiet that you would never know you were in the centre of Madrid. The entire apartment was renovated in the last year and offers a very cosy living space, including TV and DVD player and high-speed WiFi internet access.
The apartment has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sofa bed, accommodating up to 7 people. The numerous windows, two balconies and high ceilings let in lots of natural light and make the apartment feel welcoming. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable—from a coffee pot, toaster and microwave to an oven, dishwasher and washing machine.

Why the Owner Chose Madrid
We chose this place for its space, charm and how perfectly located it is, near the Retiro park, Prado museum, Reina Sofia Museum and Plaza de Sta Ana and Puerta del Sol. Also beacause it is a living area with a real local life and a great food traditional market called Anton Martin.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
We loved that everything is within 5-10 minute walk. There are great restaurants just outside the place as well. Besides it si very quiet and spacious inside. It is a little oasis in the center of town.
Just a 5 minute walk from the apartment, this gallery is number one attraction in Madrid for most people.
Enjoy Picasso's Guernika famous masterpiece here among other Dalis, Miro, Picassos, etc.
A great typical market with butchers, fish stalls, produce and more..Locals love to shop here.
A classic for tapas and high quality fish preserves: mussels, razor clambs, etc.. great beer too.
Another great and ell established tapas bar. They have great seafood, octopuss, iberico ham, etc
One of the most famous squares in Madrid to go eat tapas. Lots of great places in this square: 5 jotas is good for hams, Lateral has great tapas, Cerveceria Alemana used to be a Hemingways hung out..
The most beautiful park in Madrid, used to be the Royal park, open to the public at the end of the 19th cent.
No place catches the athmosphere of Madrid better than the Rastro on Sundays. Go late and find the tapas places for Aperitivo (Aperitive) there.
2 minute walk from the apartment, it is on blue line number 1
Owner's Map of Madrid
Jen and I bought this place in 2002 when we came back from the States. Jen is from Seattle and I am from Madrid. We lived in this great apartment for 3 years with our children and enjoyed it tremendously. We loved the proximity to all sights, museums, local markets, etc. We decorated and put a lot of ourselves in this place in order to make it warm. We left some of our books and guides to make your stay better. Jen and I also run a travel business and we are also guides and friends of Rick Steve's. We still maintain a great relationship with neighbors that can be of assistance and help in case of need.

Very clean, spacious, well-located apartment in Madrid provided a nice place for my family in July. Julio - 2008

The apartment at Prado-Gobernador was ideally located for visiting all the main sights in the city and it was a pleasure to be able to have such a comfortable and relaxed 20 min. walk into the heart of the city. This was a real bonus with young children. The apartment itself was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and very spacious, again a bonus with two lively kids, and for those wishing to stay in a self-catering location in Madrid, we would give it top marks..
