The best thing about the apartment is the location - steps away from Sol and most of what you might want to see in Madrid. It's not fancy but it's a well designed, self-contained unit with everything you might want. Being in the central part of the city you might experience some noise on weekend nights but you can shut the door and turn the AC on which works just fine. Maria was very quick in her responses and helped me with a special situation that I had for which I am very grateful.
