The Madrid region

There are a lot of museums like El Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofia, Sorolla, Caixa forum, etc. Gran Via and Serrano streets nearby, are important areas for shopping. On sudays you can walk, enjoy and buy in the "Rastro", an old market .

In any case the best is walk by the street, sit at the bars and enjoy the "tapas"

Thanks to the great transportation network getting around to any place you wish is easy and quick.

The Madrid City / Madrid Historical Centre area

The centre of the city is plenty of activity. There are a lot of theatres and musicals. Not far is the pedestrian street Huertas which brings you from the Prado to the Royal Palace. The zone of the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and Royal Palace is full of " bares" and restaurants with typical spanish food.

“Comfortable and in great location” We stayed in the apartment on 12th January for 4 days. It is really cosy, in a very safe area, and great to come back to after a day's sightseeing. There are lots of really interesting books in the apartment to flick through and the decor is very comfortable with leather sofas and antique furniture. Antonio, the owner, was extremely helpful and gave us tips on restaurants, bars, supermarkets, etc. He was very flexible about arrival and departure which was great for us. As the blog before, the only downside was the bathroom which was down the corridor, but as it is for the exclusive use of the apartment, it really wasn't a problem. The apartment was extremely good value for money and we would not hesitate in recommending to friends and family. Thank you Antonio for a brilliant stay.

“This cute appartment was great for our short trip - thanks to Antonio for making it a very pleasant ” The place consists of two main rooms, a lounge area and a bedroom, connected by two small corridors, one of which is the entrance area with a large wardrobe and the other of which forms a small kitchen. It's cosy with sloped ceilings, so may not be ideal for very tall people, but was fine for two average sized English guys. What really stood out to me was how well presented the place was. Really nice antique-looking furniture, fittings and ornaments, lots of interesting art books to flick through... very pleasant to crash in after a day hauling around town and the owner definitely has better taste than most holiday apartments I've stayed in before! A big thank you to Antonio the owner: Apart from providing some local area and restaurant info, he was also very accommodating with our arrival and departure times - we checked out in the morning but had to catch an early-evening train and Antonio let us store our bags there for the day and drop the key off as we left. The only minor downsides were that the bathroom is located down the outside corridor instead of off the apartment itself (though this wasn't any real inconvenience) and the WiFi worked in the bedroom side of the apartment but didn't reach to the lounge area. On the plus side, the bathroom came with a washer dryer which was very handy! Overall, the apartment was great and very good value for money, especially considering the area of town it's in. It's on the top floor (a nice old-fashioned caged lift ride up) so also has great natural lighting and views across the rooftops. Highly recommended!

“Absolutely brilliant” My friend and I stayed in this apartment back in June of this year and we were thoroughly pleased with it. Antonio was very quick and prompt in dealing with our enquiries and made the booking procees very simple and effortless. Just a simple paypal transfer for the deposit. The apartment itself is very very beautiful and decorated and furnished to a very high standard. There are alot of books and, maps and guides to help you on your way and Antonio was very kind in offering himself as a point of contact should we require anything during our stay. There is also a lift which makes access for wheelchair uses accessible. Location wise- we were also very pleased with the apartment- it was one of the main selling points for me and my friend. When you leave the apartment, if you turn right and walk down the streets to the main road- a 2-3 min walk, you will hit the main road, Paseo del Prado. From there a 10 min walk to your right and you will reach Plaza de Cibeles. If you turn left, a 5 min walk down will take you to the Plaza de Neptuno and Starbucks. From there it is just a 15 min walk upwards along the Plaza de la Cortes and the Carrera de San Jeronimo to reach the heart of Madrid, the Puerta Del Sol. You're never more than 5, maybe a 10 min walk from a Metro stop and is definitely a good place to stay if you like walking and prefer to walk everywhere like we did. Alternatively, if you want to go further out like to the Bernabeu for example, underground trains are close enough for you to not have to walk for miles before finding one. All in all, a very classy apartment in a very safe and upmarket area without the upmarket prices. Myself and my friend had no worries about coming back late to our apartment or having to walk along dodgy streets. there's also a very friendly lady from Peru in the shop next door! Will definitely look to stay here again when I go to Madrid :-) Thank you Antonio!

“We had a fabulous time!” The apartment is in a great location and offers good value for money. As we visited Madrid in summer, it was a pleasure to come back in a quirky and cool flat. We felt very welcomed as Antonio is a great host. Thank you, Stephanie

“Perfect location,clean and owner very friendly.” My wife and I spent 4 nights in this apartment in September2011.Antonio was very friendly and spoke good english.Before we travelled Antonio explained how to get to metro,how to get to Segovia(you must go there) and how to get to Toledo.On arrival there was water and beer in the fridge etc.Very clean apartment and Antonio was only next door if required.I hope to return in 2012.Its only a 15 minute walk from train station.We travelled there from Seville.

“Wonderful small apartment in the best location in Madrid!” Firstly, the location is perfect for a Madrid city break within easy walking distance to the major sights, a 5 min walk from the airport bus stop and just across the road from the wonderful Retiro Park for when you want to find peace and quiet. The apartment had everything i needed. The kitchen is tiny but i still managed to cook lovely Spanish seafood each night! The immaculate bathroom is at the end of a hallway around the corner. Antonio, the owner who lives next door, is a very kind and helpful person who met me on arrival and made sure i had everything i needed. Highly recommended.

“Wonderful apartment, great location” Of course Antonio, we would love to. Vern and I both really enjoyed our stay in your apartment, we loved the location, so close to everything, museums, beautiful parks, and even a small grocery market next door for added convenience. The apartment was lovely, nicely decorated, very clean, with a small kitchen for easy simple meals. The only challenge was the bathroom, which was outside the actual apartment, just down the long hallway to a private bathroom (made middle of the night visits less convenient), also very modern and clean, with a washing machine too. Antonio was very helpful with city maps, and local city highlights and suggestions on some of Madrid's reasonably priced restaurants. Overall, we just loved it, our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! :-}

“LIked the rooftop views, sunsets over Madrid, proximity to everything.” We stayed for 7 nights in this small but cute apartment on the top floor (has elevator) with great views over the rooftops and great sunset vistas thru the window. We walked to all destinations from this apartment. It is the best location one can imagine. It was quiet and had everything we needed. We had a wonderful time here. However for tall guests it is not suitable, esp. the kitchen because of the slanted ceilings. To have the private bathroom down the hall was a little bit harder getting used to but we liked it in the end better because it provided more privacy when traveling with a friend. The owner is super friendly and helpful. For Madrid this is a great deal.
