The apartment was a great find and offers a terrific mix of value and location. The apartment itself has all of the amenities that you'd need, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, and a washer/dryer, and is larger than the photos indicated.
Also, the location is outstanding! It's steps away from Gran Via, and a short walk to museums, dining and shopping. The building is set back from the block, so it feels remarkably private considering its proximity to the bustling Gran Via. We actually spent a lot of our time outside and we were able to walk everywhere, including the Palacio Real and the Thyssen.
Anyway, we definitely liked the apartment and were pleased to find this apartment! We'd absolutely stay here again. Thanks!!
