Very nice apartment in a central location - cute personal touches. The layout of the apartment is interesting, the rooms are great, the beds are super comfortable. The neighborhood is smack dab in the middle of Madrid -to some this is great - near Mercado de San Miguel and the royal palace, but we found the centro area of Madrid to be a little too touristy and not as interesting as neighborhoods like Malasaña, Salmanca or Chueca. We stayed for 3 nights the week before in Malasaña and preferred that area, just felt like a lot more locals and with more interesting restaurants stores, etc. But that could be a personal choice. This is definitely convenient and so close to the Opera subway stop and near tons of stores like el corte ingles. The only major drawback is noise - the back bedroom is quiet, but the bedroom facing the street is really loud. Like, up-until-4:30-AM loud - everyone stays up super late in Madrid, and this place is so close to a lot of bars and restaurants - so if you can stay out with them, or don't mind wearing earplugs, then this place is perfect! Overall, a very nice place.
