The apartment is very central in Madrid. Being on the top floor (with a lift) the outside noise was hardly noticeable. We did not mind the low ceiling in the bedroom and could understand why it can be a concern to climb the steep ladder to get to the bed room. The apartment was really clean. We were welcomed with a basket of bread and muffins and drinks in the fridge. I also recommend the cafe just across the street from the apartment for a nice cup of coffee and freshly baked croissants for breakfast. We did not know how the TV worked initially. After texting the host, we received immediately instruction. The communication with the host was fast and appreciated.
