Hi all. I need to find a hotel room/apartment for 4 nights in Madrid in January. I'd like to have a balcony overlooking a square or a view of some sort, or at least large windows that open since I tend to go hard all day, then enjoy spending time back in my room in the evening. I'm traveling solo, so it doesn't need to be a big room, although having a microwave and refrigerator would be nice since I like to have some leftovers or snacks/light foods on hand and I NEED coffee as soon as I wake up (I'd rather have a hot cup of instant coffee immediately than excellent coffee an hour after I awaken). It would be nice if it was relatively easy to get to the touristy area of Madrid either by walking or by metro, but it doesn't necessarily need to be in the middle of everything.
I've looked at so many hotels/hostels/Airbnb/VRBO options that they've all blended together at this point, so I'm hoping someone can suggest a place they're familiar with that might work since I need help narrowing down my options. I'm hoping to stay in a budget of 100-120 a night, but I'm willing to consider more if it's a really good fit for me, and of course less is better too!
I've found lovely places to stay in Cordoba, Granada, Malaga and Seville, thank goodness!
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
