This place is a tremendous bargain, but the neighborhood doesn't offer much in the way of entertainment. Bus service to downtown is very convenient--quite literally down the street. Coming home at night was another matter--the neighborhood is very dark and we weren't sure where to get off the bus. We chose to take cabs home from Royal Madrid--not terribly expensive and well worth it. The rooftop patio is just wonderful. The space is small but charming; the kitchen is VERY well stocked with cookware, cutlery and dinner service.
