This apartment is in a great location, 4 min walk from Plaza del Sol and Sol station, and maybe two min walk from Gran Via. There is a grocery store on each end of the street the apartment is on.. this was very convenient to us as the kitchen is well stocked with appliances. There is a pharmacy next door. It is located on the top floor with no elevator, just note this if you have a heavy suitcase or don't do stairs). This was not a problem for us and we found it to be quieter being further away from the street. As others have said, the hot water does not last long, but there is a sign in the apartment to remind you. We found it lasted for a good ten minutes. Host is super responsive and very helpful!! Thanks!
