We stayed here during the Verbena de la Paloma festival in August. The apartment was right in the middle of all the action - the famous Cava Baja tapas bars, street parties at night, the Paloma parade, and Madrileno Choti dancing. Its also really close to most major attractions by walking or metro.

But like previous reviewers, we noticed a really awful smell in the bathroom and the mattress was quite uncomfortable. Also there are 2 wooden beams in the middle of the room that aren't properly installed. I bumped into one in the middle of the night and thought I was going to take the entire building down! The kitchen sink clogs easily as well. Unfortunately Liliana was on holiday and unreachable to confirm how to fix it. If you stay there while she's away, be sure to ask for the contact number of her superintendent - he greeted us on the first day and told us to call with any questions but his number wasn't on the information package like he thought.

Overall this is a good place to stay for a few days. We stayed there for 3 days but with the smell, clogged sink and smelly bathroom, we only really used it to sleep and get ready for the day.
