The apartment is exactly as shown and described. The area is perfect if you are wanting a central location very close to great food. Madrid is a very walkable city and this apartment is in a great location to get anywhere you want to go by foot. I will say for the less active people, it is up several flights of narrow stairs, and if you want to get to luxury shopping, you will need to take the metro. Even though the street that it is on has a reputation for being noisy late into the night, there’s something magical about the window shutters that blocks out all of the sound and light so you can get a good nights rest, regardless of how early you go to bed. The bed is on the firm side but I have some back issues and I slept really well despite that.
