This apartment, in the heart of El Rastro, was in an ideal location. The neighborhood is alive and busy with great places for food and drink, the flea market all day Sunday and a 3 minute walk to La Latina Metro station. We also walked to the Sofia Renia Art Museum, The Mayor Plaza, St. Miguels Food Market, Sol, and the Grand Visa. All an interesting, safe walk. The apartment itself was easy to get to, there was an small elevator to get us to the 4th floor. It had fun views of the street and the courtyard and church behind us. It had two spacious bedrooms. One was on the loft and the other was on the front side of building, they are open to each other on the upper part. If you need a lot of privacy this may not be ideal but it was fine for me and my friend. It is also busy in the neighborhood all the time, so if you are a light sleeper you might be disturbed by the noise. I loved it and enjoyed hearing the city. My friend not so much, however, we thought the location trumped everything and would happily stay there again and highly recommend. Also, Jesus, the owner, checked on us frequently and was kind enough to order the cab for our departure. His English was excellent....our Spanish , not so good.
