Our stay was fairly close to perfect. The location can't be beat, and the hosts were so welcoming, communicative and considerate. Beds were really comfortable, internet worked, shower was hot (with more than enough water at all times for the two of us), and AC worked well (important since it got into high 80s while we were in Madrid). I can be really picky about noise, but the position of this apartment in the complex does indeed shield you from the outside street. (Only time I had a problem was when one of the neighbors on other side of the wall played music late into the night, but it was soft enough that I doubt it would bother most people; didn't bother my adult son in the other room.) Highly recommend!
