The great: Location is truly as central as it can be. There is massive construction on Gran via right now so it misleads you a bit, but you are a 5 minute walk to Sol and 8 mins to Plaza Mayor. It is clean and there is cleaning service daily. There is so much room our family of 5 could spread out easily.
Nice free amenities. They left us a nice bottle of cava and refilled k-cups when we needed. One set of towels for each person in the family.
The location is incredibly convenient. Chueca is a 5 minute walk in the other direction and has tons of cool little streets. But the building is on The busy Gran Via. Like being on a major avenue in NYC. Also, there’s a lot of construction going on out and around. But you hear none of it from the apartment since it faces the small backstreets. Also, the building feels a bit like An office building and there are two hostels on the same floor as the apartment.
The patio is large, peaceful and so hot! Thank god for the canopy they have. - I fell asleep there is few times.
If I went back to Madrid I’d have no issues about staying here again.
