What a great location to be in the midst of such a lively eclectic neighborhood. The square is teeming with positive energy and so convenient to all necessities within a block or two of the apartment. We walked the 3/4 mile to the Prado Museum without difficulty and got a great feel for the larger area along the way. The square became quite noisy one night of our stay as a few revelers went on well into the new day. The heavy windows and shutters helped , but we had interrupted sleep.
