The Paseo del Arte Apartment in Madrid

Surrounded by museums ¡just one block away from the Rena Sofía!, parks and main sight in the city.

Very central but protected in one of those typical little streets in Madrid that will keep you back form any noise.

The area surrounding the apartment:

This apartment is located in a neighbourhood which is a must for anyone visiting Madrid. It´s two blocks away from the well known Paseo del Prado, which changes its name after the Plaza de Cibeles and continues as the Paseo de la Castellana, famous avenue which crosses the whole city from north to south. At the area where the apartment is, all the main museums are over this avenue: the Reina Sofía –worldwide prestigious arts centre-, the Prado Museum or the Thyssen Bornemisza, all of which you´ll be able to reach walking less than three minutes.
The Plaza de Cibeles is one of Madrid´s symbols where great manifestations take place. From this point, to the east you´ll see the Puerta de Alcalá and to the west, the Alcalá Avenue which takes you to Madrid´s historic centre –Puerta del Sol and the Gran Vía-.
The Paseo del Prado ends at Atocha Station, about five blocks away from the apartment. It is the city´s main train stations from which all the regional rains an those going to other important cities leave –such as the AVE, the high speed train that takes you to Sevilla Toledo or Alicante-. The building, built in 1851, has been always considered a work of art in the railway architecture and stage of many crucial facts in Spanish history. This happened again after the terrorist attacks which took place on March 11. Added to this mystic atmosphere characteristic in Atocha, is the spectacular 4.000 m2 tropical garden which, unbelievable as it may seem, is in the inside of the station.
This area also hosts the famous Parque del Retiro, main green space in the city, just one block away from the apartment. 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.

The apartment:

It is a small and very practical apartment that offers all the necessary facilities so as to feel completely at ease in a simple and cosy atmosphere. The rooms are pleasant, with light colours together with natural light mainly in the living room where there is a big window leading to a typical madrilean balcony that looks over this calm street with old buildings.

In the living there is a double sofa bed, very practical to unfold and use as a bed for two. There is also a double bed in the bedroom, so up to four people can stay at this apartment and enjoy being in a great location at a apartment which also offers other facilities such as High Speed Internet connection, TV, vitroceramic kitchen, and more.
