We loved staying in Ana's place. The building really is unique. The windows are large and airy and have beautiful wooden shutters. Everything we needed was in the apartment and more! It was noisy at night but we knew it was going to be because it is right in the main area of old Madrid. We loved how close we were to everything and Ana gave us easy to follow instructions on how to get to her place. The metro is very close but you can walk to most attractions. There are local supermarkets if you want to buy groceries.
