This is a very quiet and exceptionally clean studio. Everything one needs for a short stay has been provided. The bed was comfy, and all appliances were modern and worked well. The final three nights of my trip around France and Spain were spent here. Once inside the courtyard, I felt quite safe. As an older woman traveling alone, however, I would have preferred a more residential location. Rick Steves has described the area north of Gran Via as a "meat eating flower", but this may be an exaggeration. For younger folks traveling together, the abundance of nightlife and diversity would make this an ideal location to serve as a base for exploring Madrid.
