This modern, fully renovated 1Br apartment is located in the middle of everything! It's a very lively neighborhood one block south of the Sol plaza with multiple bars and restaurants literally seconds from the front door. This does mean that the living/dining room has some street noise going into the wee hours, but the bedroom has both double-paned windows _and_ an additional sound barrier on all the windows, reducing noise to a barely perceptible level. We were able to get to sleep at any hour (thanks jetlag), with no noise issues. Checkin was excellent, and communication was easy and consistent. If I wanted to stay in the middle of Madrid, I would stay here again with no hesitation.
