Excellent little apartment. Compact, neat and practical. Met our needs absolutely. Great location for discovering central Madrid on foot. Enjoyed the atmosphere. The shower room wouldn't suit very tall people - low ceiling. Accessing the apartment isn't simple. For the first time not recommended this is done very late at night. Then entering the apartment the lock is stiff and the key didn't work straight away - have to work out how to fit the key so the lock turns. This was anxious making. Again not to be done for the first time - late at night. We found the little kitchen perfect - and the location of the local shops - which are brilliant. So we save money eating in. There was salt and pepper and oil and vinegar and some coffee to - so its a good start - when you arrive. So would recommend the apartment - but would be cautious about walking around the area - in the early hours of the morning - when its quiet - if you are not familiar with the area.
