The apartment is very conveniently located on a cute square just off Plaza Mayor. You can easily walk to other districts as well. The flat is perfect for two people. Air conditioning worked nicely, which was helpful as we arrived during unusually hot weather even for Madrid. You can cook for yourself in this well-equipped flat, although we did not do this as we were more keen to sample the restaurants and cafes of Madrid. The flat has an elevator/lift, which helped to bring luggage up and down, but is not needed for daily ins and outs if you are able-bodied.

Soraya operates a crêperie just steps away from the apartment. This is great if you want to have a default place for a quick breakfast or coffee. (The food was good!) Also she ensured that one of her staff there was available to place our luggage in a secure room, as we arrived in early morning before the apartment was available. This was a nice touch. Soraya met us to show us the apartment later in the day. She explained the flat well and was very friendly and helpful with recommendations about Madrid generally.

A few points that would apply to this and any apartment nearby, and should be obvious given its location: There is some late night noise, as people do like to stay out late in Madrid and this is near a busy square. But the windows keep noise out pretty well. The bathroom, kitchen, and elevator would be considered "small" by American standards, but this is normal to all of Europe. (If you want a 300 square meters house, why are you going to the ancient parts of cities in Spain?) The flat's location is convenient on foot, but cars typically must leave you a few blocks away as it is on a pedestrian-only street. This can be a good thing as it means there is not traffic noise. Taxi drivers may have trouble finding the location on their GPS (a minor point).

Overall, excellent experience and we would highly recommend Soraya's apartment!
