The flat is in on one of the best streets in Madrid, full of great tapas bars and taverns. It is high enough off the street that the noise isn't a problem, and the little balcony allows you to see the colorful crowds from above. A short walk takes you to museums, great shopping and great parks. The flat itself is well-appointed and modern but preserves its original charm. High ceilings, lots of wood and tile. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen could use a few more utensils and pots and pans, but is generally complete. Lots of bathrooms and showers to share. All-in-all a great experience, and our host was great.
