This was one of the best places we’ve stayed at in Europe. We are so lucky to have found it! It is super central and in the heart of Plaza del Sol. Walking distance or short taxi/public transportation to all major tourist attractions. Lots of shops and food around the area. It can get loud, but once the windows are closed it’s not too bad. If you’re a light sleeper you might here noises from upstairs and outside, but I slept just fine. The bed is a bit too stiff for me, but not too bad. The place is very clean for European standards. The showers were amazing and the place is so much bigger than expected. Check in was easy and our host even let us leave our stuff there before check in since we landed early. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Madrid.
