The place is well reflected by the pictures. If anything, in reality, it feels a bit bigger, and, most importantly, with more light. Having plenty of light was the most pleasant feature of the apartment. Having windows on both sides of the building (on two streets) serves also to create a nice breeze (which makes the air conditioner unnecessary on normal summer days [27-30C]). The terrace is big enough for two or three people to sit and eat, and sunny enough to receive well the sun without any obstructions (especially in the morning in summer). The apartment is situated on the top of a five-story building, which means there is almost no noise from above (there is only one terrace above) and the street noise (which can be heard if the windows are open) is mainly of people talking at the bars and restaurants below, nothing too loud or annoying. The apartment is quite centrally located (five minutes from Puerta del Sol), in an area that feels safe, and which is very close to several subway entrances and affordable supermarkets. The internet connection was quite good. The apartment was quite clean upon arrival. Communication with the host was, however, a bit impersonal, as it quite often happens with apartments rented by companies, and not as complete and clear as it could have been. There were almost no condiments in the kitchen, very few toiletries, cleaning materials were a bit scarce, and several lamps had no bulbs or were not working.
