Pictures are accurate. Isolated from the street noise, even though you are in the midst of a bustling neighborhood (two nearby subway lines make getting around easy). The place is super clean. The bathrooms have five-star-hotel fixtures; the showers are incredible with jets everywhere. Fluffy-yet-crisp towels feel great post-shower after a day walking around in the Madrid heat. There's a great washing machine (really-fast final-spin cycle) in case you are in the middle of a journey and you need some clean clothes...Hang your washed stuff overnight and you're good to go! One note regarding sleeping: The master bed is really firm. I like my beds firm, so it was great for me. But for those of you who want to feel you're sleeping on a mountain of fluffy goose down, it may not be your thing. That's not a down grade, as everyone has their priorities. Logistically, Maria responds right away to any questions. Maria's assistant was right on at the appointed time with the keys and very clear instructions. Wi-Fi connection was fast for Spain. Would recommend for two couples or a small family, plenty of privacy.
