In many ways, this was a fantastic place to stay. The apartment is located in a beautiful, upscale neighborhood in Madrid, close to many shops, restaurants, etc, and near metro stops. The apartment is spacious and the windows let in a lot of wonderful light. In fact, the sunlight was so warm that we didn't need to use the heating in the daytime! The apartment had many useful amenities: a washing machine, big closets to store clothes and suitcases, dishes and cutlery, towels, a hairdryer, a little desk for working. It was like a mini hotel-apartment combo. The building was quiet and the stay was very peaceful. There is one thing, however, that I feel needs to be mentioned for this to be a fair an accurate review. The shower is open on one side and water goes ALL OVER THE BATHROOM FLOOR. This is more than just inconvenient; it is dangerous because it creates a slip hazard. The host *is* aware of this problem, because this detail about the shower is mentioned in the information that we received *after* we made our booking. I would have preferred to know about this *before* booking the apartment, as at least I would have been fully informed. Overall: a very good place to stay, as long as you don't mind mopping the bathroom floor after each shower.
