The apartment is newly remodeled. Location is great for the price. Near to Atocha train station and metro stops. 10 minutes you can get to Plaza del sol, or 24 minutes walk. 10 minutes walk from Retiro Park. A little the check in was tricky since it requires to dowload an app and activate it in order to open the door. Tou need to do this before getting there if you are a foreigner. Most likely phone does not have a great connection. But when activated it works fine. Overall for the price I recommend it. Communication was ok with the host, he helped me through the check in process.
