This studio apartment is a great choice for a city break in Madrid. The surrounding area is full of cafes, bars, and restaurants. Plenty of attractions are within walking distance, including famous landmarks like Palacio Real, El Reina Sofia, and the Rastro market. Save some energy, though, for getting up to the third floor, as this apartment's building has no lift. Now, this is a studio, so as you'd expect, space is at a premium. The kitchen is small, and there's no oven or much food preparation room, so it's better suited to cooking some simple tapas and snacks.
