The Apartment was perfect for our family of four. Centrally located in the area of Sol near the Plaza Santa Ana where many guides will advise as a good start for newcomers to Madrid. For our family, I would have preferred the more residential neighborhoods to visit the city. The building will cause you to pause on your first arrival as it does not do justice to the beautifully well appointed apartment that awaits up two flights of not particularly well maintained stairs. There is a four square-foot glass elevator that was non functional during our week stay, though. It would not have made a difference for us, but would be an issue for anyone with physical limitations. Again the apartment was beautiful, clean and lovely. Note of caution. There is a ramp in the main lobby that I missed seeing on the first day that I exited the building and badly twisted my ankle. A lovely resident assisted me and told me she also fell and was on crutches for two weeks. So use care. Once you see the hazard it is fine. Enjoy!
