I can only say that our stay in this apartment was just okay. The area it is in is safe and we were able to walk to everything, especially the parts of old Madrid. Public buses and taxis are available a short walk away if you do not like to do a lot of walking. We cannot say the apartment was “new”. The furnishings appear old, worn and not very comfortable. The beds were okay for sleeping but loud outside noises and garbage pickup in the middle of the night kept us awake 2 out of 3 nights. The bathrooms are small but water pressure was good. Extra towels were not provided or offered. The kitchen was good size and stocked with dishes but we did not use the kitchen that much. It would have been nice if coffee had been provided for the espresso maker.
