The apartment is in a friendly, multi-cultural and central district with lots of lively, popular bars and restaurants all around. It is spotlessly clean, stylish, well-equipped and well-designed. It has only one external window to an inner courtyard but the air-conditioning works well and silently. The host was totally efficient, very pleasant and easy-going. The apartment was ideally placed for us as it was an easy walk to the Prado and other museums and also to other relaxed neighbouring areas. It is very good value and we plan to stay there again next time we're in Madrid.
