We found the apartment to be exactly as advertised. Everything was very clean and in very good shape and Michael was very helpful throughout our stay.

The location of the apartment is great, very central and close to main landmarks. Indeed, as other reviews mentioned, it can get noisy at times - from our experience (we spent a week in the apartment), it was noisy only during the weekend nights when the center is very crowded. That comes with the territory I guess - for us it wasn't a big issue.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Michael's apartment and will definitely stay there again next time we visit Madrid.
