This apartment, for being in downtown Madrid was extremely quiet, very clean, and convenient for walking to points of interest. It is a great place for a couple and maybe 1 child. It is very small. We had 4 adults and it was a bit cramped. The only other comment was that in the bathroom apparently the plumber did not put a water trap below the either the shower or toilet and the bathroom smelled of gray water. Other than that it was excellent.
