I think helpful to share that we are a family of 4 with two children: 12 and 8 year old daughters. Location of this VRBO can not be beat!! It is a block or so from the Prado and then maybe a 10 minute walk to the Palace and the Plaza Mayor. There is a VERY good tapas place (C&T) right outside the front door -- don't sleep on this one. 2 for 1 drinks and really friendly staff.The apartment was very well set up with a balcony that overlooked the action, kitchen with washer/dryer combo (takes a REALLY long time to do a load, so keep that in mind), and a ton of space to spread out. My only note (and this is probably more for families with small children) is that the main door is in the center of the apartment with one bedroom in the front of the apartment and the other bedroom in the back. You can not hear people in the back bedroom (which is probably perfect for anyone except those with children!). The apartment cools nicely in the summer, is quiet from street noise, and very clean. No issues at all with the apartment. Check-in and check-out was VERY easy. Someone from staff came to meet us and go over the keys, how to use the A/C, and tell us about the apartment (and let us check in 4 hours early after a train ride--which was SO appreciated). Overall: highly recommend this apartment (just make sure it fits your group's needs)
