Great location near the Gran Via metro station. Interior apartment so very quiet.
Negatives: entrance is off a narrow street, almost an alleyway, full of bars, restaurants, etc. Each morning the street was full of trash from the prior night’s partygoers.
Because it’s an interior apartment, it’s dark, with only indirect light coming down a shaft outside bedroom/bathroom. Apartment felt cold, though there is ample heating.
Getting the keys from a lockbox located almost a kilometer away was a hassle with luggage; one of us stayed at the MacDonalds while the other ventured off to figure out the lockbox issue. I had to call Juan for help in getting into the lockbox to retrieve the keys. I was tired from traveling, so found this last key-retrieval process bothersome (I’m old).
Final price seemed high, but maybe that’s just Madrid pricing.
