The apartment is in a great location, just around the corner from a nice plaza and only a block away from Gran Via. Next door to the building is also a small corner store where you can get any snacks, toiletries etc. you may need or want. The apartment is also located in the back of the building, so while there may not be a view of the street you don't have to worry about loud noise or music coming from bars or restaurants on the street. I really enjoyed this apartment and it met all my needs.
