It was so nice to have the space that this apartment provided! For the money this is the best place we could have chosen to be in the center of Madrid, basically walking distance from everything! The apartment was nice and very clean and had everything we really needed for our time in the city. The beds were okay, I brought a memory foam topper which I seem to need in most rentals. Even being in the middle of it all, it was quiet with the windows closed. We did use an app to make some white noise at night just to mask occasional apartment sounds. Communication with the host was great and check in time could be earlier than many other rentals offered. Our only glitch was that although we had an address, we did not get the apartment number before leaving the the US and had some trouble figuring that out when we got to Spain. Be aware that unlike a lock box or door code, as we have with most Airbnb rentals in the US, someone will meet you at your rental to get you checked in. We would stay here again and were very happy with the help Francisco and the young lady who checked us in provided for our stay.
