The apartment was very nice, as described completely, and very clean. You'll have everything you need if you want to cook a meal, and it's a very nice shower. The bed is on the hard side, but not uncomfortable. It's in such a central location, we were pleased to be able to walk most everywhere. There's a supermarket at the end of the street (not friendly to non Spanish speakers, but very convenient for all your needs!) The apartment can be a bit loud through the wee hours on the weekend, but I have the feeling that's everywhere in Madrid. As we left for the airport at 6AM, we noticed that people are still our partying all over! In general it's on a quiet and safe street. This was a really nice oasis to come home to, and the fact that you can be truly lazy and take the elevator up two flights after a long day of sightseeing is wonderful, too! And A/C is also key. Many thanks to Antonio and Natalia for their hospitality.
