This is a great location with lots of activity nearby and walking distance to a lot of the attractions - Plaza Mayor, Prado Museum, Retiro- Park, Palace, Opera House etc... If you need to use the Metro it is just a few steps away as well. The apartment was clean and we were met timely at agreed upon check-in time. The apartment is small and it does get noisy at night but that’s what we were looking for. The only thing we would suggest is to have some place to unpack and store your clothes while you are staying there. For a weekend trip it’s not much of an issue but we stayed for the week and would have loved to have been able to “unpack” our bags.
