The apartment is in a good location of Madrid, the Chueca area, which is very safe and a block away from the main avenue, La Gran Via. The entrance may look a little shady because you enter through a gate that has graffiti into an barber business (that is no longer in business), but it’s actually fine. The apartment was very clean and modern inside. Our only complaint is that the air conditioning did not actually work very well. It cooled a little, but only near the unit, which is in the living room. The bedroom has a sliding door wall and this prevents any cooling to get to the bedroom area. This would not be an issue at all for most of the year in Madrid, but in the middle of Summer, it can definitely cause less than ideal conditions. I would recommend this apartment in spring, fall and winter!
