Great apartment in a great location, right in the middle of the best squares in Madrid and within walking distance to many attractions and to public transportation. It has a fully equipped kitchen and washing machine therefore suitable for long stays. You will hear some street noise as it is right in the main tourist walking area but for us that was actually a plus as it felt lively and fun, and you don't really notice it after a while. The only negative we faced was the internet connection was very slow and drops basically every few minutes. This is important if you are like us who need it to plan the day ahead and make reservations and check out directions, so we had to buy internet on our phone to manage. We asked for help from Minty Host (who seems to be operating the apartment rental) but all they offered was the advice to reset the router. Another thing to watch for is trips & falls as the apartment has many unnecessary steps that we kept tripping over, and a shelf few centimeters above your head when you sleep so as you get up you might bang your head... overall it is a good apartment and has the advantage of great location but these two notes frustrated us and almost caused serious injury in case of the steps...
