Location location location! This apartment was close to Puerta del Sol, the palace, the metro, restaurants and shops. The apartment was larger than what we expected, beds were comfortable and the home was clean. Esther met us with the keys in front of the apartment so checking in was easy as well as checking out. The only thing I can complain about is the noise from outside my husband and I slept on the pull out couch in the living room and we could hear everything from the traffic of people up until about 1:00am. But the bedrooms were very quiet . I would highly recommend this apartment!
