Hi all

Just wondered if anyone had an opinion on staying near the metro 'Arganzuela-Planetario' area. We know it's way out of the centre but not bothered about night life etc. If we buy a couple of the 'metrobus' 10 trip tickets ( that's if we can figure the machines out - lol) the bus & metro can take us about (Museums district,+ Palace + atocha, pricipe pio, monclau) for day trips etc . We're on a budget so the money saved on rental will help a lot & we will be self catering most days.
Any advice much appreciated on our 1st trip to Spain
Cheers
Karen
