This is a terrific apartment. My wife and I stayed for a one month vacation. The pictures are perfectly accurate, and you can expect a comfortable stay surrounded by art in a great location., an easy, fun walk to all the major attractions, the Metro, El Rastro, etc. This is consistent with the other reviews that rate Helena's apartment so highly. But what we want to highlight is something more subjective, and more compelling than just what a nice apartment this is. There are two tall french door windows that open out overlooking the street, which is a low traffic area since it is a cul-de-sac. Look to the right and see the Basilica of San Francisco; across the street is a small soccer court where lively games take place all through the day; on weekdays, it is the playground for an elementary school filled with boisterous kids; to the left you can see the Plaza de Puerta de Moros, the Mercado de la Cebada, and a sidewalk filled with tables of locals enjoying food and drink. All this without taking a single step. Every morning from 8:30-9:00 you can watch the parade of parents and kids walking to school, holding hands and chattering. In other words, you are smack in the middle of a real neighborhood, lively with young and old who live there. You can walk to get anything you need. You are steps from a virtually unlimited number of choices of food and drink, with nary a tourist trap among them. If you want an immersive experience in modern Spanish life, this is the perfect place.
