Wonderful location and great apartment, two minutes from Gran Via, with everything you need close by: shops, small supermarkets, restaurants, etc. We walked everywhere, and did not need the metro, except from the airport. Alberto explained everything, the apartment was cozy, warm and we felt at home. If you are tall, watch your head in the bathroom, and there are many stairs to climb (5 floors?) to get to the apartment, but it is definitely worth it! We felt very lucky :)
