Clean and easy location to get around. Even before we arrive in Madrid, Balta made us feel welcome and he provided helpful information of his city. He replied prompty to each email I sent. He is very thoughtful and nice. He even has location suggestions on a board in the kitchen. The pizza one block from apartment that Balta suggested was delicious. We also had Japanese half a block away.

Beds and bathrooms works well. Second bedroom with two single beds will be tight to put your suit cases. The master bedroom has plenty of space. Living room is good size.

The area is nice and we got bakery every morning around the corner. A few steps on the same block, there is grocery store, fruits stand even a shoes store (got 3 pairs of Spanish shoes, good deal!!). Apartment is a short walk from Metro, pretty much one block.

We went running in the morning along the river just over the bridge pass Metro station and it is super nice paved running/walking path with every 50 meters marker. A must if you need to get your run.

First time arrival at apartment is a bit confusing because there is two enterances for "198". Most people will get to the "OTHER" 198 coming from Metro or via taxi as we did. The entrance we want to apartment is next to "DHOY" 198 sign that you could see from the "OTHER" 198. if you get to the bank with 198, look down the same block for DHOY sign (fruits store), walk down and pass that sign. The entrance for this apartment is here.

Once you find the entrance first time, the rest is easy. it was nice coming "home" after our long days. Wifi works great as well.

Check out is also easy, secure the apartment and drop keys off in the mail box slot in the main lobby. It isn't exposed so need to open "cabinet" like double doors to reveal the mail boxes.

Highly recommend.
