The Apartment is on O´Donnell street, just next to the Parque del Retiro, at the point where it connects with Alcalá street, main avenue that continues way down into the heart of Madrid´s historic centre –Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía-.
It is a calm area of wide streets, very pleasant for going out for a walk, and only some metres away from the Parque del Retiro, Madrid´s most important green space. It is a 118 hectare park and main meeting point for locals and tourists. Many concerts, shows and other leisure activities –roller skating, tai chi lessons, jugglers, musicians- take place.
After a nice walk across the park you will get out on the Paseo del Prado just where the city´s most prestigious museums are, such as the Reina Sofía, Thyssen Bornemisza and Prado.
By metro the way downtown is also very simple and wont take more than ten minutes. Besides, the apartment is near various metros stations of different lines -Goya, Príncipe de Vergara or O´Donnell- all of them from which you can get to any point you are willing to visit.
A residential area, near the centre and with all you can need not more than three blocks away. You´ll find a great offer of restaurants and shops here.
