Small jewel next to the Prado
My wife and I loved our week-long stay at this small, but very comfortable apartment a block from the Prado Museum. Maria, our contact, was in touch with us prior to arrival and met us outside the property to welcome us and show us the flat and how everything worked. Very efficient. The photographs of the flat accurately describe the interior. The kitchen is small, but has most everything you need. We chose the 'apartment' over a hotel because of the kitchen and the washing machine (useful on our 3 week journey through Spain). We were able to provision excellent produce and specialties from some of the 'mercados' and have delicious breakfasts (and a lunch or dinner) at our home. No dishwasher (or dryer), but we managed just fine.
The bedroom was cozy, but the bed and linens were super comfortable. The bathroom was clean, well-lit and very modern. The shower and sink, as some have noted, drain slowly.
The location is also ideal for museum goers, as it is a five minute walk from the Prado (10 minutes to the Thyssen or the Reina Sofia). It is across the street from the stunning Retiro park, with its manicured paths with glorious trees and flowers (rose garden was in full bloom). The one downside to the apartment and this luxe neighborhood is that it is not very close to food markets or supermarkets (20 minute walk), though there is a convenience store across the street to get necessities like milk, wine, beer, bottled water, etc.
Would highly recommend this property and the excellent team that take lovely care of it !
