What PP said...Sunday , in any city, is a perfect day for museums since most close Mondays

Hmm-Be careful w/Tirso de Molina area it changes very quickly into Lavapies in which I would never stay or walk at night! What street is the apt?
I never take the train to Toledo or Segovia.The cooach bus is easier-it drops you off in the center of town.You will need to take a bus or taxi from the train stations.
My take on Toledo vs. Segoviaegovia is a 'happier' place and easier to find your way up from the aqueduct and walk up to the castle.Toledo is a more serious place.
You could actually do both if you got an early start-about 9.
Madrid is an easy city to walk around but if you want an overview then I suggest the on/off bus.It has 2 routes and fun to do especially when it gets dark and lots of the buildings are lit up.

Madrid is a beautiful city full of lovely neighborhoods.
Why people choose to stay in in unattractive and , sometimes, not safe part of the city is a puzzle.

I am sorry, did not mean to be harsh, but that part of Madrid, although central, would not be my choice to stay in. Lavapies are is known as an poor immigrant and , sometimes, crime ridden part of town. Why stay next door.

As chpla said, it is an iffy area...you can see the street on google. ( a bit run down, graffiti on the walls..etc)

Take a look at Spain Select - much nicer apt. in better location.
