Nice, neat, clean apartment. Great location. Five minutes to Reina Sofia, three blocks from grocery store (with lots of ready-made meal options) and taxi stand/subway. Good AC (which meant a lot to us during the heat wave). Unit in the living room makes noise, so we turned it on and off, off while sleeping, and that was fine. Kitchenette good for basic meal prep. Low ceiling along one side (attic, after all) may be uncomfortable for tall folks (Especially the shower). Neighborhood is "bohemian," as another reviewer said. Normal for a big city, I think - an apparently empty building a couple doors up, homeless person sleeping on the street over by the metro, some trash on the street, and graffiti. No begging, no one approached us. Interspersed with nice stores and restaurants and nicer blocks. We read in a tour book that this neighborhood is "not good at night" but we felt completely safe during day light and early evening hours (that's the only time we were out and about, having young kids). Also, husband walked with luggage to train station at 11pm and he felt it was fine. And we are from a small town ourselves. Just FYI in case you are not comfortable with these big city aspects. Would recommend.
