The Retiro I Apartment in Madrid

Located in a residential neighbourhood, next to the Parque del Retiro, and with a very simple and quick access to Madrid´s centre. This apartment is a pleasure for its comfortable and spacious rooms decorated with great taste.

The area surrounding the apartment:

Where O´Donnell street begins, 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 aw...ay 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.

Comfort and style come together in this apartment characteristic for being really spacious. From cupboards to bathrooms and each of the rooms have plenty of space. Ideal for a long stay since it offers all the comfort you need so as to feel completely at ease.Decorated with very good taste, in light colours that match the light wooden floors and furniture, it is a cosy and inviting apartment.

Not to miss the various details and objects that make it special. Such as the main room which has a double bed –with a spectacular carved wood head board-, a desk and bathroom in suite. The other room has two individual beds.

The living and dinning room share a same big room full of light all day that comes in through two big windows with small balconies that look towards the street. Two single fold-away beds are available for the fifth and sixth guests to sleep in this area.
