Very interesting place as it sits on a hill in a prime location to the historic sites and tapas bars. If you are new to Madrid DO NOT be concerned about the graffiti as it is everywhere. When you walk into the building you are welcome by the signs of a building needing repair. The stairs are falling apart, there are holes in the ceiling when you get to the top of a multi floor walk up. When you enter the apartment you are greeted by a clean and refreshed apartment, new floors, updated bath and kitchen. If you are looking for a lot of natural light this is not your place. It only had three small windows that measured close to 20”x40”. There was one small issue on the first day with the electricity going out but that was the only time it happened. I would rate this apartment as average. This is a great place if you are looking for a private place to just sleep.
