The apartment at Calle Escalinata 17 was fantastic. It actually looked better than the pictures. The location was perfect - within 100 meters of Teatro Real and the Metro Opera station. Although the area is quite lively, the apartment is very quiet due to modern doors to the balcony that block the noise. The shower was great, as was the bed, the kitchen, and the living room. Isabel and her husband Phillip were wonderful. Certainly a place I would stay in again!
