My family of four (two adult children) stayed at Alfonso's apartment in Madrid in early June. The apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos: nice furniture, very clean. The views from balcony are truly incredible. We sat out there each night just talking and enjoying the view. You can see the Royal Palace and the Cathedral from the balcony, in addition to other things. The location is good. I had wanted to be a little closer to Plaza de Sol, but this apartment is far. Gran Via, the street the apartment is on, is busy and is comparable to the theatre district in NYC. The apartment does not face Gran Via, so you don't hear any noise from it. I completely recommend staying at this apartment! It was wonderful.
