The location of this apartment is great - it is very close to a metro station on one of the main Madrid lines, so it is easy to get to museums and other key destinations. For those with mobility issues who won't be using the metro system, it is very easy to flag a taxi from the Calle Alcala, which is right nearby. There is also a reliable elevator in the apartment building. The apartment is very quiet, which is a big plus, and it is great to have two bathrooms. Having a clothes washer and dishwasher was great for our longer stay. We appreciated that there were some basic staples provided, like olive oil, vinegar, tablets for the dishwasher, etc. The manager was very fast to replace the microwave when it didn't initially work. The one possible downside (this is also why the apartment is so quiet), is that there are no views from the windows (all the windows look out on an interior courtyard with an entrance to an underground parking lot). It was fun to see the dogs and children playing in the courtyard in front of the building when we came and left. In general, the apartment worked very well for us and we would stay there again.
