We had a great stay at the apartment. Francisco was extremely helpful and responsive. We appreciated the ability to drop our bags early. The apartment was comfortable, spacious, very clean, and well-located for many of the things we wanted to do in Madrid. In terms of amenities, it had everything we needed. The apartment is on the second floor (third floor for Americans). Located a half block from Puerta del Sol, the center of Madrid, the street was busy, but fully pedestrianized with no traffic, other than maintenance and emergency vehicles, keeping noise levels moderate and comfortable. (It makes a big difference not having to listen to motor scooters.) The bedrooms are in the back of the apartment in any case. The AC was effective even during the heat wave that accompanied our visit. Puerta del Sol is the hub of the metro system and walking distance to most attractions of old Madrid, so the apartment was a great launching point for our adventures in exploring the city. There are many restaurants, bars, and shops close by. Overall a very enjoyable visit to Amine's place!
