Apartment was very clean. Smaller than expected but that wasn’t an issue for me and my husband. We arrived via atocha station and walked across the street and we were home! The road and street noise below was loud with the windows open (as to be expected) but was much quieter with the windows closed. I would still recommend using ear plugs at night however if you are a light sleeper. Metro access was as simple as crossing the street. We were also walking distance to prado, reina Sofia. Great location. Would stay again.
