About this condo rental
Nestled in Centro, this attractive condo for $479 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Located on Calle Carretas, right at Puerta del Sol, this 3-bedroom apartment enjoys an unbeatable location for those visiting Madrid for leisure and tourism. It doesn't get more central than this: Sol is the beating heart of the Spanish capital, and has recently been renovated and redesigned, bringing to life one of Madrid's most famous neighborhoods. The streets that start from the circular square lead to all parts of the city, which means that most of the main sights and attractions are within easy walking distance. The area is vibrant and full of energy, and is home to many excellent cafes, taverns and restaurants. The department store El Corte Inglés and the art deco avenue, Gran Vía, offer excellent shopping, while the historic districts of Los Austrias, Barrio de las Letras and Palacio are close by. The local Sol metro and train station is literally on your doorstep, meaning guests can experience the rest of the city and beyond with ease. Light and airy, the apartment itself has been decorated and furnished in a modern style and is a perfect contrast to its historical surroundings. The open plan living and dining area is the focal point of the property, providing guests with a comfortable home away from home in which to relax after a long day of sightseeing. With floor-to-ceiling classic Spanish windows taking in the entire room and looking directly at the famous Clock Tower at Puerta del Sol, the space is flooded with light for much of the day. Both the living room and dining room have been tastefully furnished in a contemporary style, with some quirky design touches and pops of bright color giving them a unique feel. The kitchen is modern and unusually spacious (another small dining room is perfect for breakfast or more informal meals) and has been fully equipped with everything guests may need during their stay. Each of the three bedrooms is in keeping with the contemporary feel of the apartment, with the master bedroom being particularly impressive, with a beautiful en-suite bathroom and spacious walk-in wardrobe. Elegant and spacious, this apartment is superbly located for those looking to make the most of their time in Madrid. *Late entries have special rates and are paid in cash once you arrive. **If you arrive after 8:00 p.m., there is an additional cost of €30. **If you arrive after 00:00 and before 9:00 it costs €50.

The apartment is clean, nice, and in a great location. The street construction was a little overwhelming. Large trucks and equipment, and jack hammering right in front of the apartment everyday but one day of our 6 day stay. At one time I took a picture because they had 26 workers sawing, jack hammering and large equipment making an unbearable amount of noise that started at 7:30 am.
I would avoid this property until the construction is complete. Without the constant noise I would have rated this a 5 star review.

Great location overlooking Puerta del Sol. You can walk to everything and the Sol Metro is right outside of the door. Apartment is spacious and well-appointed. It looks just like the photos and the management staff is extremely helpful. Cristina met us at the apt. Our family of 5 was very comfortable during our 3 Days in Madrid. Note - the apartment is on the top floor, but it is in the same bldg as a 2-Star hostel. You can hear the door buzzer for the hostel. However, the location is AMAZING!

We could not have had a better experience. The three bedroom, two bath condo provided exactly what we needed. It is an unbelievable location. You can look down on Sol from the windows and see all the ongoing activities. We were privileged to be in Madrid during Holy Week and we were able to view the procession/Semana Santa with gowns/capirotes representing shame and penitence as it passed through Sol. We were also within walking distance to so many iconic places, including Plaza Mayor, Museo del Prado, the Palace and their gardens to name just a few. The metro stop just outside the entrance made it easy to go anywhere in Madrid. The only downside was finding the exact entrance to the condo but that may be because of the inexperience of locating addresses by Americans.You need to find the correct door at street level then walk down the hallway to the elevator and go to the 5th floor.
We loved Madrid and love Spain and the Spanish people. Also be prepared to purchase napkins and paper towels if you plan to use the kitchen for cooking.

This was a beautiful apartment in an unbeatable location! The photos are accurate. My family of 5 found the apartment to be bright, spacious, and comfortable. The air conditioning (which was in all of the rooms) was wonderful. We didn't use the kitchen equipment, so I cannot speak to that. We did take advantage of the transfer service from the airport to the apartment. We are so glad we did. It was very easy. We were also delighted that we could have an early check-in (for a fee).
A couple of things to note - first, the wifi doesn't work in the rear bedroom, so be careful - you'll get switched to your data plan. Second, the front bedroom is exposed to noise generated in Puerta del Sol. My son had a hard time sleeping due to late-night (1-3am) partying in the square. Don't know if we just happened to be here during particularly festive summer evenings, or if the noise is standard. Also, we were taken aback by the amount of people coming and going from (and loitering outside) the building. The front door of the building was routinely propped open (we think by a couple of guys who hung out in the doorway). (We would be sure to push the front door closed/remove whatever was being used to keep it open.) We didn't love the hostel being located on the two floors below the apartment.
With all of that said, we had a great visit. We felt safe on the 5th floor. The location was a perfect launching point for us to see the city. The metro was literally a few steps from the front door, the Hop On Hop Off bus stop was just around the corner, you are in easy walking distance to many of the major sites, and there are more restaurants and shops than you could ever visit. Daniel, the apartment manager who greeted us, was friendly and very helpful.

Good location for authentic experience in the center of Madrid
I thought the location and condition of the unit was as described. Also, the hosts were responsive at the beginning and during our stay. The unit was clean when we arrived. A lot of great restaurants around the hotel. The downsides are as follows: The apartment was in a building that's mostly a hostel (i.e., most apartments have turned into a hostel) so there's a lot of people coming and going/noise. The pans which we used for cooking breakfast were all scratched up and needed to be changed. There didn't appear to be any smoke alarms and the apartments at the hop floor...one way to evacuate. Further, if you're used to beds at top American hotel brands, you may find the beds to be less than fully comfortable.

Perfect location
Located right above the Puerta Del Sol, this apartment is perfectly centered. We walked everywhere from the Prado to the Palace and everything in between. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well appointed with excellent air conditioning!
I rated it 4 stars due to the noise at night. Every night it seemed someone thought ringing the buzzer from the street would be a good prank. Maybe we could have disabled it but it was an annoyance. There was also quite a bit of street noise in the front bedroom but very quiet in the back. Except the wifi didn't work in the back bedroom. Not a huge issue and something an extender could easily fix.
Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to be in the center of the action and doesn't mind a little noise.

Amazing Place to Stay, Right in the Heart of Madrid
If you want maximum comfort, right in the heart of Madrid's bustle, this place is for you. The apartment is huge (much more that I was expecting), as well as being clean and modern. I was really surprised by how quiet the interior of the apartment was, considering that the non-stop action of Puerta del Sol is right outside the window. The apartment is fully air-conditioned (which is essential if you're visiting Madrid between June and September). Enrique and Cristina were wonderful in organizing all of the details. I would also highly recommend using their airport transportation service. The drivers were punctual and the price was reasonable. I've already booked this apartment again for another trip to Madrid in early September.

Location, confortable and clean
Our family reunion for Christmas 2016 was enhanced by being in this wonderful location for a week. The space is inspiring: the view of Puerta del Sol was mesmerizing on Xmas eve, and every day of our stay. The apartment is literally one building away from the corner of Puerta del Sol, the clock tower is right outside the window. The two balconies in the living room were large enough for two people to stand, or for one person to sit. The lively sounds were squelched when the doors were latched shut, amazingly. Beds were superior supportive - some sort of memory foam that permitted this back pain sufferer great rest. Kitchen was spacious. Bathrooms were luxurious. TV and WiFi dependable. We discovered three english language stations at channel 114-116. Transfer service arranged by Cristina was extremely professional, timely, and bargain priced. We enjoyed several days of 5 mile plus walks: including Salamanca, the Sorolla Museum (an absolute treasure), the Regina Sofia, the Prado, the Palace Real, the Atocha train station (for a quick Toledo visit), and El Rastro.

Lindo Apartamento
Muy buena elección. Daniel fue muy amable y nos atendió muy bien a la llegada. Nos explico cómo funcionaba todo en el apartamento y nos dio muchas recomendaciones de restaurantes y cosas que hacer en Madrid. El apartamento es tal cual se ve en fotografías y muy acogedor. Era bastante silencioso y estaba muy bien equipado. Sin duda repetiremos con Vanrays. Gracias chicos por vuestra ayuda!

Very Nice Apartment - Excellent Location
This is a very nice apartment in a perfect location. The metro is less than two minutes away & the apartment can be accessed via elevator or stairs. Our family of four (2 adult sons) found the apartment to be very comfortable, clean, well appointed and more spacious than we had expected. The beds were comfortable, and we had lots of closet space. The living room balconies provided us with beautiful views & were perfect for watching the plaza entertainment below. The windows were well insulated such that any evening music & street noise were never a problem. Each room had it’s own A/C controller which was really nice. The owner was always prompt in responding to e-mails (sometimes on the same day!) We were met at the apartment by an assistant for check-in, and she made sure all questions were answered. Our security deposit was refunded promptly to our PayPal account. We would definitely recommend this apartment and would enjoy returning in the future.

Beautiful apartment - Excellent location
We loved, loved, loved this apartment. It is very clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The location is perfect. We could stand on the balcony and watch the Puerta del Sol street performances and when we came inside the apartment was perfectly quiet. Daniel was waiting for us when we arrived. He made the check-in process easy and had great restaurant suggestions. We will definitely recommend this apartment to everyone we know who may be planning a trip to Madrid.
