The apartment is exactly as pictured online, and could not be more central to all Madrid has to offer. The air conditioner kept up nicely as the weather was very hot during our stay. The kitchen is nice sized and while we didn't cook there appeared to stocked with the basic necessities. The bathroom was good sized for an apartment with a very nice rainfall shower head, much appreciated after hot days in Madrid. We didn't notice the noise because the windows were shut but it is located in an area that is very active until late at night. We enjoyed our access to this true oasis in the heart of a beautiful city!
