Apartment Downtown Sol

You couldn’t ask for a more central location than this beautiful apartment, located just one block away from both Sol and Gran Via. Spacious (75 sq. meters) and extremely bright, with windows on both sides, three skylights and large glass doors that lead to a wonderful terrace - perfect for a romantic meal, relaxing and watching the life of the city unfold in the plaza and streets below.  The walk up to this 5^th floor pad will reward you with great views of the city in every direction.  The most emblematic buildings of Madrid are just steps away, and a short walk will take you to all of the sights (Plaza Mayor, Plaza de Espana, Cibeles, El Prado, el Retiro, el Rastro, etc).  The best shopping areas are a few blocks away (Gran Via, Chueca, Malasana), as well as the trendiest restaurants, bars and nightclubs.  The apartment is well communicated, with a handful of subway stops close by (Gran Via, Sol, Callao, Sevilla), and just one block’s walk from high-speed trains ideal for day trips to surroundings areas. 

Located in an historic building that is immaculately maintained, the apartment itself has been recently renovated in keeping with its original charm.  Though it is literally in the very center of the city, you will find that the apartment is a quiet retreat, as it is on the top floor of the building, there is only one apartment per floor, and the surrounding streets are limited to pedestrian traffic (taxis allowed). Hand-cut wooden beams give the apartment unique character.  It is comfortably furnished, with a queen-size bed in the bedroom and a full size sofa bed in the living room.  The kitchen is fully-equipped (range, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, blender, pots, pans, plates, etc.).  You will also have the benefit of cable television, DVD player, stereo and wireless internet access, a telephone for free local landline calls and the luxury of a gas grill on the terrace.  Linens and towels are provided, no smoking is permitted in the apartment.  An additional 8 euro/day charge applies during the summer if you wish to have air conditioning.
