The flat is in a great location central to most of everything Madrid has to offer as well as public transportation. There are several shops, bars and restaurants just steps from the front door and this does contribute to some increased street level noise, but not unexpected for a city of this size while traveling. The flat is adequate inside and has the basic necessities. No frills, but excellent value for the price. The host was extremely responsive and assisted in a seamless checkin/checkout process.
