The apartment was all we needed for our stay. It was clean with all the basic needs. Raul was very helpful in giving us tips on metro and bus use. There is a small market extremely close by, not even a block away. The metro station is about a 10 minute walk, but the bus bus stops are just around the corner. These busses take you to the Renfe station, where you can catch the metro, and trains. There was a little noise during the night but it is to be expected in the city. We basically used the apartment just to sleep as we spent everyday visiting several locations. This was perfect for the value.
