Beautiful place in Madrid, absolutely ideal location. I loved opening the balcony and feeling like I was 'in' the city, but when closed the noise was very minimal. There was an audible noise from a pipe or something in the building, which drove me to use a white noise app at night to sleep. However, Rita and Carl were hugely helpful and responsive, and I think they are having that fixed so it will likely not be an issue for anyone reading this. They were absolutely the most kind and accommodating hosts, too. They even brought me over a power adaptor after my luggage was delayed, as well as helping me work with the airport to get my luggage (which I eventually did, yay!). The shower handle on the left is a little challenging, just twist it forward with a little muscle and you'll be good. Maybe dry your hand before turning off so the slippery-ness is lessened. The shower is so hot and nice, really great water pressure. And there is a washing machine in unit, a dishwasher, the bed is super comfy, it's just an all around great stay. Don't miss it! Thank you, Rita and Carl
