The apartment was exactly as described - spacious, modern and comfortable. The location is very central - you can see straight into Plaza Mayor from the balcony - and within walking distance of most major attractions. It is also very busy and quite noisy - with people, not cars - but the double glazed windows do a good job of blocking most of the noise. Soraya was not in Madrid when we visited but we had good communication in advance to ensure smooth access to the apartment when we arrived. Her friend, Sona, was also available when we wanted information during our stay. We would be happy to stay here again and recommend it to others.
