The apartment is spacious, clean and mostly well equipped. Some items one would expect to be provided were missing, e.g. there were only 2 wine glasses, 2 water glasses and 2 bowls so not enough for an apartment that sleeps 6. There were only 2 of us so this wasn't a problem. The host responded immediately to our request for some other cooking-related items. Bedroom 1, which has an ensuite bathroom, is very much the quietest room. Bedroom 3, overlooking Calle Amparo, is considerably noisier though it’s bright, spacious and has a desk which could prove useful. Bedroom 2 is also quiet and is the smallest of the rooms. The shower was powerful and the bed was comfy. Having stayed in Lavapies before, we knew what to expect - it is a very lively, multi-cultural and vibrant area which suits us fine but might not be the best choice for people wanting complete peace and quiet. There is an enthusiastic police presence and if you are shocked by begging and unhygienic behaviour in the streets, it may not be the best choice. The upside of this area is that it has a buzz, with bars and a 24hr supermarket right next to the metro. It’s also just a 5 min walk up the road to Tirso de Molina. The centre of Madrid is relatively small and easy to walk around so the metro is by no means necessary.
