The apartment is very nice and most of all well located. It is walking distance from the main sites, including the Retiro park, Plaza Mayor and Sol. There are lots of cafes, restos, pharmacies and supermarkets around. The apartment is as in the photos, and the sofa bed was comfortable too. The street noise is non-existent, but you can hear well from the corridor as well as the apartment upstairs (walking and running). All in all a good experience and we would be back.
