If you want to be right in the center of the nightlife in Madrid, you can't beat this apartment. It's right by Gran Vie and a short walk from Plaza del Sol. You can easily walk to anywhere you need to go. My one criticism is the noise, and not just from the street (which is to be expected). The walls of the building are so thin that you can hear someone sneeze a few rooms over. The mornings are especially loud because people are leaving and the cleaning crew is cleaning. Otherwise, the place is just as it appears in the photos, and Melvin is very quick with responses.
