The location of this apartment was great for seeing the sights of Madrid. We were able to walk to most of the areas we wanted to see and there were plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. The host met us and the check-in was easy. The apartment is nicely laid out for privacy. Having the washing machine and a clothes-line in a small room off the kitchen with a good window was great because our clothes dried quickly! We enjoyed the pool as well but the water was like ice! It was too cold to swim in but was good to cool off our hot tired feet. We enjoyed our stay in this apartment in Madrid and would recommend it to our friends.
