The location and price of this apt are the real highlights of staying here. It is located in a working class area of Madrid with easy access to all the historical sites either by walking or inexpensive taxi rides. The immediate area has many local bars, restaurants, a very convenient coffee shop right across the street and a large grocery store very close by. The apt itself is a little dark but if you are gone most of the time anyway it would not be a problem, the apt also felt a little smaller than what the pictures show. OK for a short stay for two people but more people than that would be very tight. What could be an issue is that there are four entry doors to apts side by side and unfortunatly one other tenant continually slammed their door late into the night which would interfer with your sleep. There are also very strong cooking smells from one of the nearby apts.
