Great apt on an entrance to Plaza Mayor. Walking distance to most everything. Noise wasn't an issue for us, but if you need absolute quite you shouldn't stay near this plaza. It is right next to Mercado San Miguel, which was my favorite lunch spot. Mely was also very flexible with check in times to help me out. La Plaza Mayor has a lot of homeless at night, just fyi. We never felt unsafe at anytime. If you want to be at the center of Madrid life this is the place to be.
