Location, Location, Location! Right in the center of Madrid, a 2 minute walk to Puerta del Sol and the Sol Metro. A great place for two, we walked to everything, including the sites, shopping and tons of restaurants/bars. The street below is very lively during the day, night and yes the early morning... but the 4th floor apt creates some distance from the noise and sure makes for great views from the double balconies! The apt is located across the street from the police station, making it very safe. The double balconies open up for a bright and sunny apt during the day and nice and cool at night. The small desk was perfect for my laptop and the high ceilings make the apt feel bigger than it really is. The two Air Conditioners also keep the apt as cool or as warm as you want it.
Why it lost a star, the shower could use a deep cleaning, the bathroom is on the small side and the floors were also a bit dusty (bring flip flops or slippers). However with that said the location, views and the rest of the apt make it a great value! The check-in / check-out process was super easy, the team of hosts was very attentive and responded within minutes to any inquiry. Check out was at a sharp 11am as they had more guests checking in that day and needed to clean. However I have no doubt they would have accommodated a late check out otherwise. Thanks for the a great stay in the Sol / Gran Via area!
