We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Luis's central Madrid apartment. It is the perfect size for two people and just steps from Gran Via and the metro which made it a breeze to get around the city. The location is in a very active area so there was a lot of noise all night but the metal blackout shades did a great job of silencing so we could sleep. There is some wear and tear around the apartment, nothing major but could probably use a little repair. The shower had pleasantly strong water pressure and we utilized the washing machine and drying rack (it's under the bed) to clean our clothes. If you want to be right in the heart of nightlife and the tourist district - but also where the locals live - then this is a great spot and terrific value.
