This is a great apartment - better even than we thought from the on line listing! The location was perfect - ~5 minute walk to the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, and the El Rastro, ~15 minute walk to the Calle Gran Via, and the Royal Palace, and ~20-30minute walk to The Prado, the Reina Sofia museum and the El Retiro Park; very easy and convenient walks. It is also around the corner from plenty of local restaurants on Calle de la Cava Baja. The place was sparkling clean and modern, had bathroom products, and comfortable bedding nicely decorated. It was spacious and comfortable with 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen island with barstools, and 2 full bathrooms. Carmen was a pleasure to work with, very friendly, available and accommodating, and gave us a great tip for a local lunch - La Buha, which had a great tortilla, iberico ham, and complimentary bread and appetizers, for a very reasonable price. She provided a thoughtful welcome "goody bag" for the room as well. The apartment is in a secure building with 2 exterior doors requiring digital keys used for entrance into both the building and the room. I had read in one review that it was noisy being only on the second floor but it was really barely noticeable. I have nothing negative to say about this property and would definitely stay here again if we return to Madrid.
