Great apartment in a central location, close to lots of restaurants/bars (Lavapiés and La Latina), as well as sights and transportation (eg Reina Sofia museum and Atocha train station are just a few blocks away). The apartment is cozy (on the small side), but was perfect for me and my friend - it was quiet, spotless, and had a clean, streamlined design. Basile was a warm and accommodating host, and communicated clearly and frequently. Great value!
