We felt it an absolute privilege to stay in this amazing apartment. The apartment was spacious and comfortable for our family, and the location could not be better. It was a short walk from basically everything in the center of Madrid, and for anything farther away there's a metro stop right outside. The theaters, clubs, tablaos, bars, and bakeries of Madrid are in your neighborhood here. We miss the views of the royal palace and the mountains in the distance from three of the five balconies. Though the Calle de Arenal leads to the hubbub of Sol, the apartment itself is quiet at night. Returning to Madrid, I will check availability of this apartment before I consider any other.
