The apartment building is seasoned. It has a great Art Deco charm. The apartment has been completely remodeled and is lovely and clean. It has high ceilings, making a small space feel very roomy. I recommend you be able to walk stairs when considering staying here. The elevator was not working on several days. Not an issue for us, but could be challenging for others.
The bed is extremely comfortable and the futon is too. Out of all the apartments we stayed in, this TV was the most intuitive. Very easy to work. The apartment has two balconies which are nice for people watching, or enjoying Spains beautiful weather.
The apartment is close to the subway for longer trips and is within close walking distance to great shopping and excellent restaurants. Taxi's frequently come down the street for quick access to anywhere in the city and beyond.
If you have never been to Madrid before you will be surprised how busy it is. This location is full of young adults who like to party until the wee hours. Much fun to watch and participate in the jubilee. Reminded us of Marti Gras in New Orleans. Just bring your Mac's silicone putty ear plugs for sleeping and you will be sure to enjoy a good nights sleep.
