The apartment was as expected (accurate reviews/information on the listing). We used the self-check in option because of our late arrival time, and we were given very clear instructions that made it really easy. The location is great! Just a couple of blocks from Plaza de Espana, and it's very easy to walk or take the metro from there. There is a nightclub across the street, but it was only open a few nights that we were there and the noise didn't bother us (was still pretty quiet in the apartment).
