This apt is located in the middle of everything, on a very busy street in Chueca. That's the good news. The bad news is that the building is old and in need of repair, especially soundproofing the large glass windows. During the weekend, noisy street activity is deafening even four flights up; it eventually quieted down around 7:00am. We had read the warnings about bringing ear plugs, but they didn't help much. The apt also needs some TLC, and the access details need some clarification and polish. The price is right, but next time, we'll pay more to get a better place to live.
