This apartment is amazing! It is very clean and comfortable. The beds were great and we loved the heated floors. It is on the second floor but there is an elevator available. There is a full kitchen- we made several dinners and daily breakfast. There is a large grocery store just 50 yards down the street in the lower level of the El Cortes Ingles. However there are plenty of amazing restaurants in the area. The apartment is located in the heart of Old Madrid easily with walking distances of most major tourist attractions. We had an amazing view of the Puerta del Sol for the show and fireworks on New Year's Eve. There is some street noise but actually is very low considering how close you are to the street. The blinds and shutters can jeep out the street lights at night. Neither noise or light kept us from sleeping well. The apartment is in a pedestrian zone so you will have to coordinate a pick up point with any drivers or tours out of the city. If you do have a car there is an underground parking lot just a block away. This apartment provided a great living space for our family of 6. There are 4 TVs, Wifi, and a Sonos system throughout the house. I also have to thank our host Juan Garcia, who waited 2hours to meet us as we had some travel delays. I would highly recommend this apartment.
