Apartamentos Recoletos, Madrid

Advantages: Nice
Disadvantages: Anyone

...not recommend you to go there by car. - By metro: the suburban of Madrid has two stations next to the gate: Retiro and Banco de España, in the line 2 (the red one). - By bus: this is a very easy mean of transport to get there, because this monument is in the centre of the city and lot of busses pass very closed to it. - By train: you can arrive easily from Atocha Station, where they stop all the train lines of Madrid.

...I visited Madrid in September and found that a two or three of the metro lines were closed for maintenance completely for a significant portion of the line.
