You won’t find a better location in Madrid. Every morning when we left this apartment for a day of sightseeing we were reminded how right we were to select this unit. Many places claim to be centrally located. This one delivered. Located on the Puerta del Sol, when we walked out the front door, we were steps from the Metro and other transportation options, near shops, great bars and restaurants as well as significant sights, markets and interesting streets. Late at night from the apartment’s balconies, we watched the revelers in the Puerta del Sol and scanned the rooftops of the city. (The balconies were also great perches from which to photograph a full moon, a lovely clock and the iconic Tio Pepe sign.) Once the balcony doors were closed, the apartment was very quiet. But a great location is no good if the apartment itself isn’t up to par. This one exceeded expectations. The apartment was ideal for our group of 5. My wife and I were joined by our sons and daughter-in-law for a week and this was a great setup. Two clean, modern bathrooms. Three bedrooms with plenty of storage. A spacious, well-equipped kitchen. Even though we arrived at midnight, we were greeted promptly at the apartment and shown into a delightful space that was clean, cool and well-appointed - a perfect retreat at the end of busy - and hot - July days touring Madrid. When you’re renting an apartment sight unseen, you’re always concerned that the photos in the listing might not be accurate. The photos of this apartment were precisely what you’ll find - and you’ll be pleased.
