We had a great time in Alberto's apartment: it is exactly as depicted in the pictures, and located close enough to Gran Via to make it convenient for the subway, but on a quiet plaza. The ceilings are a bit low in the bathroom, but my 6'4 husband did not mind. We loved the neighborhood, and never had to go very far to find shops and restaurants. The cute terrace was a nice bonus for breakfast too! Alberto was a lovely host, and we'd love to stay there again, should we go back to Madrid.
