The place is exactly as advertised. It is indeed an extremely quiet spot within a bustling and convenient neighborhood. The arrangement involving a court yard entrance from one of the busiest streets feeding into Puerta de Sol is a good one. You can walk absolutely everywhere of interest! Elizabeth, who greeted me, was a lovely and helpful young lady and was very accessible. The apartment was immaculate. Perhaps it did not have the charm of a couple other places I stayed in Madrid....it has the feel of an investment property not a home....but it is functional, efficient, meets all needs....And I think perhaps my preferences tend toward funky places with a bit of soul more than most people. I suspect most people would be more than satisfied.
