The apartment is nice, as pictured, and the light and view from the tall windows in the living area and kitchen are great. The kitchen is well equipped for breakfasts and light dinners. The location of this unit could not be better. We walked everywhere! It's near the main plazas and a short walk from the art museums and major sights. Kristian was very helpful, pointing out a few things we should do that we wouldn't have thought of. He was a very gracious and helpful host. The building is being worked on currently, so it's a bit messy. While the city noise isn't bad because the apartment has new windows, the wall is thin in the bedroom. You will hear the next door neighbors and should be considerate about not disturbing them as well. All in all, we loved our stay in Madrid and would come back.
