While the location is central and very close to Gran Via, it is also right along the street where I probably wouldn’t want to be by myself at night. There are big doors that lock to keep people out so that’s a great compromise. We had some issues with power-couldn’t run too much at one time because the fuse would trip-and the towels didn’t smell great when we got there. Overall this was worth the price and it served the purpose that we were looking for. I would suggest this for someone that’s looking for an affordable apartment and will probably spend more time sightseeing instead of being inside.
