Apartment is just like in the pictures. It is situated in a good location very near Principe Pio station and it is very easy to find and you can use metro, bus or go for a walk to the centar. However it is a basement apartment so it is more than ok if you will use it for eating and sleeping. Hosts are great. They gave us a map of city and advice where to go and what to see in Madrid. They even sent us a message how to get to the airport early in the morning.
