This apartment is a great place to stay in Madrid. Although it's right in the middle of a very lively neighborhood, it's generally very private and quiet. It's really easy to walk or metro to anywhere you want to go in Madrid. The square outside has some nice cafes and stores. The little back deck is a great outdoor spot in the middle of an urban location. Alberto is VERY nice, communicative, and responsive. The roof slants so be careful! And know that you can open the skylights / windows for some air.
