Apartamento Madrid Centro - Plaza Mayor

Lovely apartment in an amazing location. Location couldn’t be any better - central to all the top sights in Madrid. Apartment is spacious and has everything we needed for our stay. Handy lock up for our cases right next door which was very convenient as we had a late flight home.

Very spacious and comfortable place in the center of everything in Madrid! The apartment had a working kitchen with large and spotless newer appliances, two sitting areas, 3 bedrooms and a washing machine with large drying rack. Each bedroom has its own heat/AC, and there was a portable heater upstairs which was critical as it was really cold out during our stay. This setup worked well for 4 adults, because everyone had their own space if needed, but could hang out in the upstairs living room as well. The location is central to Madrid, close to the palace and several plazas, and literally hundreds of options for food/gelato/shopping within a few minutes walk. It’s also on the ground floor, so no lugging your bags up 3 flights, etc. It was clean and the beds were comfortable, water tasted good and there was plenty of lighting. A few cons - the downstairs bathroom shower did not have a door or curtain, it’s just open to the common space in the hallway. The upstairs en suite bathroom has a door, shower was tiny but good water pressure and the window opened for venting. The front bedroom downstairs got a TON of noise from the street. The other two bedrooms were really quiet, though. There are no opening windows out to anything in the whole apartment. This was fine for us since we spent the entire day out exploring, but if you need a balcony for your coffee or like to people watch, you can’t do that here. For the price, though, this place was great!

This place was great. A few steps away from the San Miguel Market and Plaza Mayor. Tons of places to eat/drink within literally a couple minutes of walking. The host was kind enough to let us in a little before our check in. We had just arrived with 7 people and luggage so that was very appreciated. The apt had beds for 6 people plus a sofa bed. Downstairs was a full size bed and a single. Upstairs was a full size and single as well. The only complaint would be the 2 downstairs bedrooms were a little warm at night. Besides that it was a fine. The location makes up for it if you can deal with that.

The location could not have been more perfect for us - centrally located and walking distance from everything we wanted to do. And the owner was helpful and responsive when we had questions.The apartment itself felt run down - there was broken furniture, and space heaters that we couldn't get to work (it was very cold when we visited). The pictures made it seem like it would be a lot nicer.
