The apartment is very cute and clean, it is situated in a great neighborhood! Even though it is a lively area close to the Prado Museum, Retiro Park, Atocha train station, Reina Sofia museum and pretty much everything is within walking distance as well as many tapa places/restaurants and shops, it is quiet because of it’s location in the building. We walked everywhere it was a great experience. There is not an elevator to reach the flat, so you must be able to climb stairs (it’s on a 4th floor for Americans) this was not a problem for us, but keep it in mind.
We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
