The apartment was PERFECT! Just a few blocks from the city center. You have a direct view into Plaza Mayor (one of the largest Plaza's in Madrid). Location could not be any better. Close to EVERYTHING! Host was extremely responsive and helpful. Apartment is fully functional with kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher- Setup is great. I was concerned it would be too loud being in such a busy area but the windows blocked most of the sound out. Everything was VERY clean. Would recommend to a friend in a heartbeat.
