This is a very clean, big and well located apartment. You are within a 5 minute walk to Plaza del Sol metro (the Grand Via station is closed at this time) and 2 minute walk to Grand Via. We walked to El Palacio Real and another day we walked to Museo del Prado. The location couldn't be better. There is 24 hours food store across the apartment and many shops and restaurants near by. We highly recommend Mercado de la Reina (on the Grand Via), Lamucca del Carmen (2 blocks from the apartment) and Mercado San Miguel ( excellent for lunch). Just be aware that at the moment, there is construction going on in the building. The building has an elevator to take you to the 4th floor, but you do need to drag your back up to about 20 steps to get to the elevator. Also, there is a hair dryer in the bathroom, but bring your own soap.
