More Spain Questions :)

1) What area of Madrid would you recommend staying in?  We usually try to book a small apt to rent over a hotel.  I don't really know what area of the city would be the best, any thoughts?

2) Which coastal city would you recommend:  Tarifa or Nerja?

It's been 2 or 3 years since I've been in Madrid, but this is where we've stayed the last 2 times and it's great.

It's right in the middle of everything and the hotel was nice.

I haven't been to either of the other cities, so I can't help there. Sorry!
