We loved the location--easy walks to Prado, Reina Sofia, Thyssen Bornimesa, Atocha train station, Parc Guell. Neighborhood has great collection of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. The apartment faces an interior courtyard, so it is very quiet with no traffic noise. It is accurately described--everything worked. Be aware that the steps up to the bedroom loft are very steep and that headroom up there is very limited--you can only stand at one end of the room, and then just barely. Overall it is functional place, but a little bit rundown.
