We enjoyed our stay in this contemporary, comfortable apartment. It's very centrally located -- about a five-minute walk from Plaza Mayor and the Mercado de San Miguel and about a twenty-minute walk from the Prado, the Reina Sofia, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza museums. Three excellent supermarkets are within a few blocks as is a Metro station, and safety was never a concern. The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos. The bed is very comfortable, there is plenty of space to relax and store your things (certainly for a couple), and the bathroom is spacious by European standards. (The shower has both a rain shower head and a wand; the stall may be a bit challenging to maneuver in for those on the larger side.) Carmen was very gracious and communicative even though we spoke little Spanish -- Google Translate helped us out -- and provided a welcome bag with some groceries to get us going. The apartment is on the side of the building overlooking a number of tapas bars and late-night establishments, so there is street noise from patrons (which lasted past 1:00 a.m. on the Friday night we were there), along with the morning glass bottle recycling and a bit of noise from the building mechanicals (perhaps the heating system?). If you're a light sleeper, we'd recommended bringing some earplugs and/or installing a white noise app on your phone. Would definitely consider staying here again.
