This is a great apartment. It's right in the heart of the city, the main art museums and Teatro Real are within walking distance and the Sol subway stop is just a few minute walk. It's literally surrounded by restaurants, there are probably 50 within a 5 minute walk of the apartment. The host communication was great and they were very accommodating for English speakers. The only caution I'd give is for light sleepers, you're over a somewhat busy street with restaurants so if you're a very light sleeper you might bring earplugs. It was generally dampened by the windows but on weekends you might get a busker playing music below that you can hear from the apartment a bit. It was fine during my stay and I only heard light noise intermittently but I'm a medium to heavy sleeper. This was a great apartment if you want something central, highly recommended.
