Great location near the Santa Domingo Metro Stop, close to a grocery store and plenty of restaurants and shops. We loved being in a non-touristy building and neighborhood. There is no air conditioning, as the owner notes, but we did fine in early September with fans. There is street noise, but this is to be expected in a city. We easily cooked meals and did laundry in the apartment. We walked or took the metro anywhere we needed to go in Madrid, including the train station.
