Israel's apartment is just as nice as it appears in the pictures. It is perfectly located in the centre of Madrid...easy walking distance to all the main sights, with plenty of eating and shopping options just outside the door. Israel was waiting for us when we arrived and answered all our questions, as well as offering some helpful advice. As many have mentioned, Madrid carries on all night long. It can be noisy but we knew that going in. It certainly will not keep us from staying here again the next time we are in Madrid.
